Take a look at these charts of ill portent:
Since about 1964, the gap between women and men in their identification with the Democrat Party and their Democrat voting patterns has been steadily increasing, with the increase especially pronounced starting in the mid 1990s. And as a friendly reminder, single women voted for Obama by a canyon-sized margin of 70%-29%.
There are a few predominant reasons for the gender gap, which I explained lucidly in this post. In short, women are voting more Democrat because the Democrat Party is the prime force for turning the government into the world’s biggest provider beta. From the time of the “sexual revolution” (which was really a “sexual devolution” back towards pre-agricultural mating norms when 80% of the women and 40% of the highest testosterone men reproduced) women have been more free to choose mating opportunities based on their gina tingles and the economic and social empowerment granted, respectively, by their pointless humanities degrees and the disintegration of traditional slut shaming mechanisms. The life of serial monogamy and alpha cock hopping has never been more attainable for the average American woman, and the result has been predictable: Women are substituting the beta males they no longer want or need for marriage with a Big Brother Daddy government to help them foot the child-raising bills that their PUA, drug running and serial killer lovers won’t.
Lest you’re tempted to blame the badboy bandits for not contributing their share, remember that women enter into relationships with these types of guys KNOWING FULL WELL they cannot be depended upon for support, and not even bothering to expect support from them. How often have you wondered why jilted women express more animus for their dumped betaboy child support and alimony paying lickspittles than for the irresponsible jerks who pump and dump them? Thanks to me, now you know why.
My gender gap theory can be refined even further, to get at the very heart of the issue, the fundamental law expressed in nearly every political trend of the past 40 years:
Roissy Maxim #66: As men are becoming ever bigger pussies and betas in their dealings with women, they are losing the leverage to shape and push women’s child-like and selfishly amoral political opinions in logical, just and long-term oriented directions.
Eventually, the world created by women will collapse, as all worlds built strictly on conceited, single-minded pragmatism utterly blind to the bigger picture must. The Democrat Party is merely the fool’s tool that fully emancipated women use to craft their poison utopia. As there are more women and joyriding alpha males than there are beta males, this collapse is inevitable, barring a violent revolution that discredits the philosophy of the voting booth.
Questions arise. Is it good for humanity if a socially enforced monogamous marriage system gives 90+% of men access to pussy and the replication of their genes? Had this been the case throughout prehistory, we modern humans might never have evolved. We are here in our present form because a majority of men (and some women) were denied, often cruelly, often tragically, a chance at reproduction. The sacrifice in blood and in psychological torment and emotional despair of countless distant ancestors was required to make us human as we now know it. We are living monuments to bloodshed and pain. Praise God and all His glorious works.
So while a mating system where 90% of men reproduce and are thus invested in the outcome of their society, and where women’s dangerously wild sexual and social impulses are partly constrained, has given us the pinnacle of civilization in the West and the East Asian lands, it may also contain the seed of its own demise. The widening gender gap is the canary in the coalmine; it is telling us that the final demise has arrived.
“canary in the coalmine”
I had never heard that until a month ago.
Isn’t it funny that once you hear an expression, you start hearing it all the time?
Anyways, it summertime and Friday.
Going to the beach to spit some Day Game.

roissy in the hizzzouse!!!!!!!!!
One of your best yet Roissy. I’d like to seem more of this doomsday prophesying to more fully round out the re-education of beta minds. Bravo.
Two comments:
1. Is this widening gap a natural, evolutionary development and if so, should it be combated?
2. What are you thoughts on this Atlantic article about a woman who argues against marriage? http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200907/divorce
The woman and her friends are old and likely no longer attractive and their husbands seem like betas but both sides don’t seem to be clinging to each other.
Survival of the fittest. If your game (in whatever form) isn’t good enough that your genes survive to the next generation without a socialized pussy plan, then perhaps they shouldn’t be there. But since the vast majority (90% +) of people in the US still continue to couple, marry, and reproduce, I’m not too worried about the downfall of civilization quite yet.. Obviously the Alpha/Beta effect is way overstated.
first.
there was a lot of good stuff on the “Spot the Alpha” comments thread about this topic. this post echoes a lot of stuff that dana in particular said about it.
elsewhere, you’ve posted that evolution (genetic makeup of humans) moves faster in modern technological civilzation than it did previously. (i disagree, believing instead that culturally-induced behaviors are equally important – in fact, that’s a side effect of our huge, complex brains – to allow different kinds of software/culture to be loaded in and function. which can and does have the ability to override the hardware.)
monogamous civilization(s) is at least a few thousand years old. are you asserting that those patterns of reproduction had *no* effect on the human gene pool over that period? that our genetic makeup, and associated mating hindbrain behaviors, are frozen as if we were still scavenger primates out on the serengeti plains?
re the Democrats – i posted yesterday that it was the white male elite that pushed, allowed, and facilitated the Pandora’s box (heh) of feminism. Women may control those particular levers of social control and redistribution, but it was well-intentioned men who handed them over.
Thanks for that breaking news on 2004 voting patterns and making the point, for the 500th time, that goverment is the provider beta, dystopia, devolution, foot the bills, repeat, repeat, repeat…
I guess Roissy is in summer reruns.
Delaware beaches are at a crisp 70 this afternoon, G, hope the Left coast is warmer.
R, you think it’s bad in the post-Christian world, at least there’s a 50-50 split of boys and girls here. What about the glorious eugenic experiment of China where it’s apparently more 60-40…
Arm charm sociologists have pointed out that having a lot of young, unfulfilled, single men lying about tends to lead to bad things. Maybe, in order to stem potential rising violence, the US and Chinese governments need to have a Fembot Manhattan project to quell these unsatisfied masses.
On the whole “shaming” thing, you’d love that judge in Texas (I think his name is Ted Roe) who makes the criminals he convicts carry signs on public streets stating what their crime was as part of their probation. ie:
“I killed two people while drunk driving”
“The police found drugs in my house and my children were taken away”
and so on….there are all these Humanitarians with their panties in a bunch over it, too. That’s its so mean and humiliating….lol. However, only approximately 12% of his convicted criminals return to his court for a second offense. That’s as opposed to the norm being around 30% in other courts. He’s awesome.
Putting aside the simplistic D.C. Villager pap that Democrats = pussies while the 101st pasty fat-fuck fighting keyboard commandos here play John Wayne in their backyard bunkers and cheer on other people to go fight their wars, as well as the childlike needling of utilizing the “Democrat Party” rhetorical device…here’s what’s underlying this stuff that Roissy fails to recognize:
More white men indeed have moved in partisan ID to the conservative side of the spectrum. These conservative whites are now concentrated in the Bible Belt, essentially the poorest part of the country. These states receive a hell of a lot more federal dollars, “welfare” if you will, than the blue states where all the “pussies” live whose dollars support them. Typical de jure anti-welfare state attitudes with de facto subservience. Blame your damned brethren there.
There’s an interesting dialogue going on at the big kids’ table. Go to bed.
The attempt to make republican beliefs as alpha and democratic beliefs as beta does not always hold true. I see loads of herbs voting(or claiming to) vote republican because it is the only outlet from thier mannish wives who also vote republican as they are loudmouthed and… well manly and like to bully. Authoritarians like authoritarians. Many herbs up here in the far northeast might look like they are of different parties but really just mirror what the wife allows them.
Liberal harridan wife with too much education with the male ideal being richard simmons= democratic voting husband.
white trash harridan wife with little to no education beside TNN and the male ideal being toby keith= Republican voting husband.
There is no thought as to what political beliefs the parties may hold, even though it is as fixed as the WWf(E?) but the herb will vote as his wife tells him. The republican herbs can just fool themselves into thinking that they are in charge. All those religious groups who insist on marriage and divorce laws that castrate, seem to love “conservative ideals”
good post.
i am curious to hear what you think the answer is. do you think the republican party can serve as legitimate counter government largess? if it goes the way of the dodo, what will fill the gap?
also, what about our fiscal situation? we simply cannot continue to spend like this unless we ratchet up our tax rates to european-like levels. Will americans ever accept fifty percent tax rates?
my biggest fear is that the dems will be successful in saddling us with a whole bunch of new entitlements while lying and saying they can pay by taxing the “rich”. meanwhile, the term rich will simply become defined more and more as anyone who actually has a job.
— Questions arise. Is it good for humanity if a socially enforced monogamous marriage system gives 90+% of men access to pussy and the replication of their genes? Had this been the case throughout prehistory, we modern humans might never have evolved.
No. It’s basd for humanity to limit its male stock. Let’s look at this broad-strokes, by continent. In Europe, relatively egalitarian mating patterns allowed for the greates variation of good phenotypes — looks and inteligence, aggression and self-control, creativity and order.
In East Asia, limiting male reproduction to scholar-mandarins gave us the Obedient Nerd. In Africa, the opposite thing happened, favoring dumb thug traits. That’s obviously not the only kind of people that come from east Asia and Africa, but this is, at least in popular consciousness, the predominant respective feature of those areas.
In the end, limiting the pool of reproducing males creates a bottleneck effect.
Also — women’s-choice matriarchies favor the thug, trending human evolution toward the dumb and the ugly, for both males and females. Big fat, giant-jawled robust women
A planet Earth without good looking women? May an asteroid smash it in two.
yep. Once the bitches have voted the head of Nancy Pelosi III to the White House, the technology will be advanced enough to clone her, Bill Clinton and Obama. So, by decree, none other will be permitted to serve in government.
synthetic cloned sperm of Clinton & Obama will be dispensed randomly to women seeking a first pregnancy per the Freedom Uterus Act of 2050.
their future children will only be selected from Official NBA Sperm Banks, or obtained the old-fashioned way: after game parties
Here is one way things could go:
“What are you looking for in a husband?” Without batting an eye or pausing for thought, she answered: “Three things. One, he must be good in bed. Two, he must be a good father. Three, when we divorce, he mustn’t be bitter.”
There is more than a grain of truth in the fact that there is an increasing gender gap in society, one that very strongly favors women, at the expense of men. Or more precisely, it favors young attractive women at the expense of everyone else.
On the other hand, I think that the doomsday prophecies are a bit exaggerated and the foundations of the Western Civilization are too strong to dissolve over this matter alone. There is certainly some decadence at work and the traditional driving forces of our society – white males – are in retreat at the moment, but it’s a necessary transitional phase from a time when society was utterly dominated by (white) men to a more balanced world. At the moment we are witnessing a pendulum effect where all kinds of minorities such as black people, women, etc… are taking it out, so to speak, on those who used to run this world, but I think that the trend will reverse itself in due time.
Young men these days are somewhat unlucky to live in a time when womens’ egos have been blown entirely out of proportion to their real self worth and hence the struggles that they go through. It’s these struggles that have caused the proliferation of the PUA community and even this blog.
Also, I wouldn’t blame all the trouble in this society on the democratic party as they are the better of the two alternatives. At least they pretend to promote education and science – the two pillars on which everything stands, while the republicans can only mumble about easy substitute topics like gay marriage or abortion.
It seems like there’s a lot of evolutionary biology talk. It ignores the larger consideration that whilst the Democrats may be “beta provider” types, the welfare state quells political instability from arising via income disparity. It’s what liberalism is designed for: revolution insurance.
It’s what liberalism is designed for: revolution insurance.
I’d agree in a way, if not for the fact that liberalism were religiously devoted to Population Replacement via immigration and multiculturalism.
Leftism stokes, rather than quells, the flames of revolution.
Politics also largely boils down to self-interest when it comes to voting. What is best for a country is always arguable, but when it comes to me, I know what’s going to work well. If the Liberal government promises to subsidize my education, it benefits me as a student, so I’m going to vote for them. I’m not thinking about what effect this is having on larger trends of gender relations, and gender identity.
@The_Judge:
Young men these days are somewhat unlucky to live in a time when womens’ egos have been blown entirely out of proportion to their real self worth and hence the struggles that they go through. It’s these struggles that have caused the proliferation of the PUA community and even this blog.
I totally agree. My friend referred to this the other day as the “Cinderella Complex.” A lot of women, most women I know, sit back and expect things to come to them, especially in terms of relationships and dating.
Government mandated revolution insurance?
@PA:
Leftism stokes, rather than quells, the flames of revolution.
I think that’s more in line with the European example than the North American one. There are stronger national identities to protect in Europe. The British govt. made the mistake of not enforcing any type of national identity at all, and thus there was a huge reactionary backlash. France is not going to make the same mistake. I don’t know what the American identity is, other than inclusivity and liberalism, so really that’s what stands to be “protected” – especially from ultra socially conservative immigrants who threaten this balance. I don’t have an issue with immigration when what follows is an actual adaptation to the new host country.
subsidize my education
Subsadized student loans and grants are responsible for the stratospheric tuitions. Colleges set whatever prices they like because it will be paid for via loans.
Without student loans, tuition would cost around $20 per credit hour (or whatever students/parents are willing to pay) and you’d graduate without debt.
S.-
That’s spot-on correct! No offense, alphas, but do you really want to live in a world where more than half of your neighbors are hungry, pissed, and desperate? Careful what you wish for cuz those people are going to be there whether you approve of not. It’s time to start making social realities part of you fantasy. The welfare state is steam control.
anonymous, left wingers make that charge a lot (re: Right wing states receive more welfare-type $$ than left wing)but do you have proof?
And also, remember that the state divide isn’t really accurate; the red-blue-purple map is more demonstrative. So if you indeed show that “red” areas are receiving welfare $$ etc., you have a point.
However, the counter to that is that it is blue areas—democratic counties and cities—that receive the most welfare $$, etc. That makes much more sense, considering the knee-jerk reactions of blacks to vote democrats, the overwhelming majority of whom subsist on government $$, and that cities (which largely vote democrat) receive a lot more public $$ than non-cities.
Quite frankly, the gut take hypothesis is that democrats get $$, not republicans. I would like to see your proof otherwise, however.
@PA
Subsadized student loans and grants are responsible for the stratospheric tuitions.
It sounds like it would happen, but in Quebec students pay about $1 700/year for tuition, and the provincial government compensates the remaining $3 300 or so. Those have been the rough figures for a while.
— I don’t know what the American identity is, other than inclusivity and liberalism
That’s not the American identity. American identity is its pre-1965 demographics: 85% white (mostly anglo-saxon), 12% black, 3% “other,” everybody speaks English, and almost everybody is Chrisitan.
Given that, the American identity includes a distrust for big government, respect for self-reliance and individualism, combined with informal community ties and regional differnces in local culture.
— France is not going to make the same mistake.
None of Sarkozy’s phoney bluster is going to make a difference as long as non-French people keep moving to France. It’s the majority ethnic stock that determines a nations’ culture, not its government decrees.
“On the other hand, I think that the doomsday prophecies are a bit exaggerated and the foundations of the Western Civilization are too strong to dissolve over this matter alone.”
I hate to tell you, but the above mentioned subject isn’t the only matter…
“I don’t have an issue with immigration when what follows is an actual adaptation to the new host country.”
I can tell you how well that’s working out. There is a population group that has been in america for 100’s of years and are still unable to act normally:
http://www.ohio.com/news/50172282.html
Sarkozy is of Hungarian descent himself.
PA, America has the advantage of being the type of country used to immigrants assimilating. Immigrants here because their home governments failed in some manner to serve them adequately (whether oppression, poverty, famine, disease, war—their homeland was bad); thus many immigrants are pre-selected to distrust government more so than the average human.
Of course, 2-5 generations later, the immigrant mentality is lost, and they become SWPLers, worshipping big gov.
This may explain why many black immigrants inherently are somewhat right wing—Colin Powell is the son of immigrants, not a descendent of American slave.
Of course, this isn’t a perfect match for all cases.
Interesting piece.
Roissy, I wonder how you could explain other countries’ avoidance (or at least, slowing down) of the same problem.
For instance, i’m Canadian. Canada is, in most matters, more Liberal then our Southern neighbours-for instance, the Conservative (right-wing) party here is much closer to the center then Republicans, due to the public’s views on certain matters being non-arguable (Health Care).
I know you’ve been up here before (I remember you enjoying a trip to Toronto a while ago). Shouldn’t a more liberal country like ours be decaying at a faster rate?
I hope no one takes this as troll bait. I’m honestly curious.
The Democrat Party is merely the fool’s tool that fully emancipated women use to craft their poison utopia.
Keeping in mind the Dems get something out of it, too — votes, leading to power, leading to more money to hand out to bribe people to vote for them, leading to more votes, and so on.
Quebec has a tuition fee freeze, plus the money the government gives is a lot less. American government guarantees you upwards of $18,500 in loans regardless of what your college actually costs. Plus it doesn’t have a cap on what colleges can charge. Thus the difference in the two systems.
The colleges in Quebec are fighting this and may be getting their way. Many in Quebec fear this will lead to American University style tuitions:

Half of my neighbors receive welfare? If you modify your statement to:
‘Do you really want to live in a world where the laziest and stupidest 10% of my neighbors are hungry and pissed?’
Absolutely I do. The hunger in their bellies will give them some incentive to get a job. Or they’ll die and the species will grow stronger.
“re the Democrats – i posted yesterday that it was the white male elite that pushed, allowed, and facilitated the Pandora’s box (heh) of feminism. Women may control those particular levers of social control and redistribution, but it was well-intentioned men who handed them over.”
True.But you’re leaving something out,Maurice.It is this:elite males proffered sexual license to common females,but those very females sure didnt hesitate to grasp the offering.
This,I believe,is the most salient detail that needs to be pondered,and pondered well,in order to get a firm grasp on current affairs.
A point that must be made is: before the sexual revolution and in areas of the world now that follow traditional marriage customs with a focus on high family values, there was/is segregation between men and women to one degree or another.
That means for men who want to “play the field” … there is/was no field to play. In cultures that value marriage and family, yes, divorce is minimal to nil, however, people tend to marry very young (compared to the post-modern West) and there is no meat market of single, horny, available women.
Of course affairs have existed since long, and where there’s a will, there is a way, even in those cultures, but by and large, there was/is no access to single men and women 24/7 like there is now here in the post-modern West.
Which is perferrable to men? A life long marriage with a wife who more than likely will not cheat on you, divorce you and sue you for alimony/child support OR having access to a multitude of single women whom you MIGHT be able to bed if you can get your game together?
“The welfare state is steam control.”
In case you haven’t noticed, we can’t afford it anymore. Besides, before welfare, in say 1900, life in America was pretty peaceful. Not much starvation, block wars or the crime we have now. Try another argument.
We’re going to merge with computers way before this mating disaster runs it’s course.

the economic and social empowerment granted, respectively, by their pointless humanities degrees and the disintegration of traditional slut shaming mechanisms.
Hmmm. If those humanities degrees were really so pointless, how have they contributed to economic and social empowerment?
Your post, in general, is excellent. But this contradiction will not be denied.
“I know you’ve been up here before (I remember you enjoying a trip to Toronto a while ago). Shouldn’t a more liberal country like ours be decaying at a faster rate?”
The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Besides, you don’t have the degenerate population the US has.
Arrakis, a few things:
1. not to attack Canada’s military (which is strong and very involved) but the U.S. has been, since the Cold War, far and away the largest spender on military and military techonology. During the cold war and up to today, the U.S. military was the big dog keeping the Eastern Bloc (and now rogue nations and terrorism) at bay. this allowed western countries to spend that excess money that would have gone to building up the military if there were no check on the Russians on social programs, a la free medical aid, etc.
2. other countries which instituted socialized medicine (such as Canada) have benefitted from the free research lab that is the U.S., which gives out the majority of medical innovations due to its capitalized view of medicine. One the US innovates, socialized medicine countries merely extract the cream drugs and procedures.
Should the US move to socialized medicine, innovation would drop substantially,forcing socialized countries to actually stop much of their socialized medicine in favor of innovation, or else a new super power would ahve to start innovating like crazy.
My point: Liberalized countries have long leaned on US conservative policies in the marketplace–military and medical, among others. However, should the US move to liberalization, these countries wille xperience rapid decay—much like a Williamsburg hippie would rapidly become swallowed in a wasteland of violence should all those “dumb rednecks” and “corporate pigs” in the military and making anti-depressents respectively suddenly quit their jobs.
@Joe:
I think that has to do as well with the weakening of nationalist politics in Quebec, or at least nationalist politics in Quebec not getting taken seriously federally. The only reason the Quebecois government can afford to heavily subsidize university is because they blackmail the federal government in giving them extra dollars.
I live in Ontario and tuition is still relatively cheap compared to the States, which is astronomically high. American style tuitions would never fly in Canada, for a multitude of reasons, mainly our deference for big government and the amount of tax we pay.
Okay, seriously…for any of you that live in the United States, our taxes range from 1%-2% being taken out by the State/Federal government for Welfare. That’s it.
It’s not worth being pissed about in terms of tax dollars because as a taxpayer in the United States you are almost guaranteed that your taxes are going to go to something retarded no matter what, so suck it up sally-girls!!
S.,
“Politics also largely boils down to self-interest when it comes to voting.”
That’s just plain wrong. It’s been debunked many many times. “The Myth of the Rational Voter” by Bryan Caplan is a decent intro to the topic. There are many other books/studies as well on this topic.
Lurker –
http://www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/22685.html
A city-county level analysis along the lines of the purple map would be more apt, I agree. Not sure if any exists. Bottom line, when rural conservative whites in relatively low-population and low-population density states receive off the chart welfare in form of ag subsidies, MedicAid (a conservative-era result) and other federal largesse, and when one Wyoman equals 70 Californians you know we never have and never will live in a free-market Randian utopia.
And you can’t pin that one on the “pussies”.
This notion of welfare as revolution insurance is nonsense. If that was true then why are the places that receive welfare — in the form of cash handouts, public housing, etc. — the very places where we find the most social discontent? (think: LA riots).
The biggest public policy success of the last 15 years was cutting welfare.
By expanding government you are also expanding the politicization of society, which creates new avenues for discontent and divisions. Indeed, one of the best arguments for cutting government is so that politics will play a less divisive role. This is why politics is such a dividing line in society today — because so much is at stake in who controls Washington.
Cut government. Return the power to the people.
—Hmmm. If those humanities degrees were really so pointless, how have they contributed to economic and social empowerment?—
The people that issue them and value them are in power and have been for decades.
Lurker:
What you say is-well, i’m trying to look for a positive way to spin it, but what it really is is a red herring.
I never challenged America’s integrity, innovation, or importance. I challenged Roissy’s assertion that a country becoming more liberal leads to it’s evisceration.
@ .38:
Besides, you don’t have the degenerate population the US has.
I agree. U.S. race politics is f’ed up. It was really jarring for me to see the stark racial-class divide in places like Atlanta., Newark, and D.C.
@lurker:
I think you have it. We rely on the U.S. for a lot, especially ideas. When there was a ban on stem cell research in the U.S., a lot of it was going on in Toronto, so much so that it became an international hub for stem cell research. Now that this market has freed up in the States, watch us suffer for it, and a shift of research and resources quickly take place.
@C:
It also depends on the larger social infrastructure. When you have a welfare state, many, many services are public. When you merely receive welfare cheques, and your surrounding environment is heavily capitalist, I don’t think you’re able to pay for substantial health care, education, etc. It’s just enough money to make ends meet.

de Tocqueville writes: “2. What are you thoughts on this Atlantic article about a woman who argues against marriage? http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200907/divorce
The woman and her friends are old and likely no longer attractive and their husbands seem like betas but both sides don’t seem to be clinging to each other.”
Good call on the article. It (intentionally and unintentionally) validates many Roissy observations:
Excerpts:
“Ellen had originally picked Ron because she was tired of all the bad boys, and Ron was settle-down husband material.”
“[the author has an] avowed childhood desire to see my father explode into flames”
“Today, the most common type of marriage is the Companionate Marriage, in which husband and wife each have a career, and they co-parent and co-housekeep according to gender-free norms they negotiate. ”
“That said, it’s clear that females are dissatisfied—more and more, divorce seems to be initiated by women. If marriage is the Old World and what lies beyond is the New World, it’s the apparently stable men (comfortable alone in their postfeminist den with their Cook’s Illustrated and their porn) who are Old Worlders, and the Girls’ Night Out, questionnaire-completing women who are the questing New Worlders. They most embody what Tocqueville described as America’s “restless temper,” or l’inquiétude du caractère. (Interestingly, according to EnlightenNext magazine, some northern European women are reportedly eschewing their progressive northern European male counterparts and dating Muslims, who are more like “real men.”)”
lurker,
how about you show some proof yourself?
S, there was no “ban” on stem cell research, FYI–despite what the media painted, claiming Bush was some sort of luddite.
What there was a ban on was taking stem cells from human embryos via their destruction–which many pro-lifers (myself included) viewed as murder. Stem cells already pulled/cloned/gotten from non-embryonic sources (which is a substantial amount) were always fair game for research.
Meh. Less philosophizing, more field reports!
Roissy,
Interesting and incisive as usual.
The most important and unpredictable variable in all of this is technology, of course.
Technology has progressed while civilization has devolved, and the technological progress is the only thing that’s made the devolution and regress bearable, sustainable, etc.
But they’ve also been feeding each other as well of course, as tech progress makes civ. devolution possible, and civ. devolution makes tech progress necessary. So they’re linked very closely.
I suppose it’s like a race to the bottom sort of deal. Can tech progress keep up with/outpace civ. devolution in order to sustain civilized life, or will civ. devolution be so rapid that it destroys the conditions in which tech progress/science is possible?
Or will tech progress accelerate to the point that bio engineering/reproductive/genetic manipulation is possible? resulting in a society which, while dystopic in many ways in our eyes, nonetheless maintains some degree of order, civilization rather than the kind of neo-primitivism much of civ. seems hurtling towards currently.
More cudos to lurker for his point #2.
There has never been any real experience in socialized medicine, because the European, Canadian, etc. programs have been propped up by American R&D expenditures.
Lance, first, are you going to dispute that blacks do not vote en masse for democrats, or that blacks are largely poor in this country?
“It’s just enough money to make ends meet.”
That’s what welfare used to be (and temporarily too) before it became a way of life.
Lurker,
I’d like to see the state by state breakdown too. I think it’ll be very interesting to read.
However, I’d like to take you to task w/your “kneejerk” remarks wrt Black folks’ support for the Dems. Simply put they do for two very important reasons-because the Dems lookout for what Blacks feel are their interests, and because the GOP hasn’t shown any interest in trying to get the Black Vote.
Now, hey, the latter part of the above statement may not be a bad thing, depending on where you sit. But like I told SmartyJones earlier this morning wrt Thomas Sowell, you don’t sell anything by simply saying its the best. Anyone w/any knowledge of sales will laugh right in your face if you do.
You make a sale and keep a customer because you’ve forged a relationship that in many ways, has very little to do w/the actual product. Simply put, the GOP hasn’t shown itself all that interested in forging a relationship w/Blacks enmasse, relying on its supporters to instead basicaly berate Blacks into supporting them w/stuff like “its better!” and so on. It reminds me of the guy who’s pissed that he can’t pickup chicks merely by the fact that he’s nice and has a good job-yea, so? We all know that he needs more than that.
Why should it be any different here?

@lurker:
Thanks for the clarification. I stand corrected.
Arrakis, what I’m saying is that liberalized countries rely ont he US, thus stop-gapping their losses via liberalism. But the heavy reliance is key.
Also, considering you have a council which creates “hate speech” punishments for anyone attacking anythign left-of-center, I think Canada is well on tis way to 1984-esque dictatorship.

@ .38:
I don’t understand why welfare is a lifestyle for many (genuinely). Can anyone tell me what a minum-wage income is in the U.S.? Or how much welfare amounts to annually?
Yeah, the Democrats opposed gay marriage and are for school choice (most blacks are too). No wonder why blacks keep voting Democratic. Actually the Dems deliver whitey’s money and AA, hence the votes. The End
Blame it on Anglo culture.
How do you expect a culture that aligns itself with the British way not to fall into betatude? English civility is basically betatude held in high esteem. Look at Australia, New Zealand, US, England… they are all countries where men are (either already or becoming) extremely beta. Then look at Germany, France, Italy, etc. These countries that haven’t been directly influenced (socially) in the same way that US/Aus/NZ, and as a result the relationship between man and woman maintains the traditional male-female personality/power dynamic.
lurker,
i’m not necessarily disputing either; just asking for proof in your claim that the “overwhelming majority” of blacks are on public assistance.
“We’re going to merge with computers way before this mating disaster runs it’s course.
Read Ray Kurzweil, boys –
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Age_of_Spiritual_Machines
Everyone will be 10 there and as alpha as possible.
In a short run 15-20 years from now (as was duly noted on this blog before) virtual/artificial sex will completely redesign the landscape.”
Kurzweil is very compelling with his arguments. Recently I read another one of his books “Singularity is Near”, which basically deals with the same subject. I think that his outlook of completely merging with machines within the next few decades is a little bit optimistic, but I can’t deny the power of his numerous arguments. Basically he outlines how scientific progress could skyrocket, but he doesn’t seem put enough consideration in the fact that the advancement of knowledge is often encumbered by political events and various social movements.
In it’s pure state, however, his theories are a wonder to behold and many ideas gave me tons to think about. The basic premise is that within the next few decades we will be able to merge completely with our technology and become free of the constraints of our physical bodies. At that point we will be able to conduct scientific research fueled by untold computational powers coupled with the human intuition, which we are supposed to retain (otherwise it wouldn’t be a successful merger). The end result will be a period of almost instantaneous and almost infinite advancement in our knowledge. We will create a hive mind of sorts and eventually, in all likelihood, lose the need for individuality and focus on constant expansion of out computational power by transforming all matter in the universe into the most densely packed computational units.
That may not sound so great, but as Ozornik mentioned, we are due for a period when we will be able to simulate sexual experience with absolute clarity either through the use of perfect sex bots or, maybe even more likely, direct brain stimulus such that external, uncertain sexual success will become irrelevant.
It’s certainly worth living a few more decades to see how it all pans out.
I am keeping my fingers crossed for a perfect replica of an 18 year old Hayden Panettiere.
Anybody see any gaps in this gender?
@S.
the welfare lifestyle can not be calculted in $$$ because it is dolled out in free services: free school lunches and breakfasts, free housing, free WIC, food stamps, free transportation vouchers, free park district passes to the pool, free emergency and chronic health care. The only items paid for with Welfare cash is Cheetos, lottery tickets, alcohol, and cigarettes.
S–
Except in the case of white men, particularly Anglo white men.
That’s how women got the vote in the first place in Britain and American around 1920 in each.
Before 1970’s white women’s liberalism also tended to be more of the altruistic, both genders white self sacrificing kind. Then affirmative action for women was pushed though as a feminist tag along to AA for blacks (that’s exactly how it happened and how the arguments for it were structure, and accepted by the media), and the Roe decision was handed down by the Supremes, but threatened politically. The Domocrats were the party of feminists. Other feminist legislation and agitation gathered strength, including sexual harrassment, domestic violence (with really hair trigger thresholds and presumption of guilt), and divorce and family law changes.
So increasingly white women’s participation in left leaning politics became self serving as much or more than altruistic.
Hence the gender gap.

“Bottom line, when rural conservative whites in relatively low-population and low-population density states receive off the chart welfare in form”
—this is not shown by your chart.
“of ag subsidies, MedicAid (a conservative-era result) and other federal largesse, and when one Wyoman equals 70 Californians you know we never have and never will live in a free-market Randian utopia.”
—Like I said, the red-blue-purple separation is much more apt; a passing glance some of the states that receive large amount of federal aid (Hawaii) are always blue, while others (Louisiana) have or have had large, very poor black populations that consistently voted democrat (Jindal is the frist R governor in about, what 20-30 years? And that is after the mass migration of black democrats from N.O. following Katrina).
Many of the so-called “red” states have pockets of black dominance, espcially southern states. Northern cities with heavy black populations also get a large share of federla money—NYC is in fiscal trouble if it doesn’t get its daily does of terrorism, welfare, and housing money.
“And you can’t pin that one on the “pussies”.”
—actually, we can. Since federal largesse is dictated by left-wing voting priorities, it is indeed pussy democrats extorting money for the liberal demographics.
Of course, if a bill is set in stone to pass, then it behooves many a congressman to get his people the biggest piece of the pie. At that point, it s a scramble. Once the egg is broken, get as much yoke as you can.
I have never decried Robery Byrd or Ted Kennedy with their success in directing funds towards their state (notably, the huge debacle that was the Big Dig in Boston)—more, I loathe the fact that they committed to large wealth redistribution before hand. Once committed, hwoever, it was their duty to their constituents to grab the pie pieces.
So yes, the pussies are to blame for demanding welath redistribution.
Obs–
Correct as always. As a former GOP party hack myself, I would add that Lee Atwater’s goal of 20% of the black vote still remains elusive twenty years later.
Today we have a black GOP national chairman, but he is too cerebral and not combative enough (I would have preferred Ken Blackwell, who also ran for the post in January).
What is needed is some investment in ghetto areas: led by the equivalent of political missionaries. We need to run some charismatic community leaders who can raise issues like same sex marriage and the failure of the educational blob. And we need to spend the money in these areas on campaigns, knowing full well that the effort will take time and have no guarantee of success.
I am not optimistic about the GOP’s chances in minority communities. All I am saying is that these things are NECESSARY, but not sufficient conditions for closing the gap.
Lance, fi the majority of blacks are poor, and they vote democrat, which is for assistance of the poor, then it isn’t a leap to assume that the majority of blacks receive public $$.
Please; if my first two points are valid, my third naturally flows.
We would not be where we are as an animal without a form of enforced monogamy.
To go from the ape of the jungle to the world spawning ape that we are now required cooperation of the males to become the hunting ape that in turn became the civilization ape.
Without cooperation, we would not have left the jungle and evolved into humans. To hunt, to get meat that is necessary for us to grow our brains, we needed to hunt in packs.
To hunt in packs, you needed the betas to have a vested interested in the group.
That interest is sex and children. We evolved into human beings in that way.
The fact that there is an evolutionary advantage to cheating, does not undermine the competing motivation.
Without it, civilization dies. More an more men are abandoning civilization, DA is just the vanguard, or the pope of that movement.
It cannot be fixed now, we are headed for a dark age. So be it.

Anglo culture, in particular Calvanism and puritanism and it’s pedestaling of women is to blame. Feminism is merely a different name for the same Puritan beliefs that men are morally corrupt and their will is strong, and women are morally strong, but their will is weak.
Doug,
From the time suffrage passed to the present, the government has continued to expand and become more tyranical. From the very beginning. It has just continued.
The gender gap in voting has existed from the beginning and immediately upon suffrage, the governments voting patterns became more liberal.
—”I don’t understand why welfare is a lifestyle for many (genuinely). Can anyone tell me what a minum-wage income is in the U.S.? Or how much welfare amounts to annually?”—

Lets look at Today’s newspaper:
USA Today

The reports show the 872 counties that supported Obama received about $69 per person, on average. The 2,234 that supported McCain received about $34.
That’s over double!
Capitalism works better than socialism any day of the week.
I’d bet money McDonalds provides more tasty meals to “poor” people every day than welfare.
I can get my prescriptions filled at WalMart for $4. How much would it cost me through a socialist national health care system?
And if you argue that poor people get fat because they eat too much junk food then stop. Think. You’re saying poor people get too much food under capitalism.
You can eat heatlhy. At the grocery store I can buy a cantelope for $1, packages of lean ground pork for $1.75.
It seems to me poor people in a capitalist society do better than poor people in any socialist country.

Actually, more recent evolutionary anthropology suggests that polygamy is relatively new to the species — something that came about during the agricultural revolution 11000 years ago. Prior to that, human tribes were pair bonded –> there was not enough social stratification among the males to support widespread polygamy. The pair bonds were cheated on, of course — that wiring, for men and women, runs deep. And of course women would still strive to make the best pair bond they could. But the society as a whole was more egalitarian, which prevented pussy monopolies from forming.
The pussy monopolization programme came along with agriculture, which introduced substantial stratification, and generated the kind of top-heavy wealth that supports polygamy.
Yes, far fewer men reproduced historically, but anthropologists don’t think that polygamy was the main reason. Rather, men are more subject to disease, and were much more likely to die die to (1) wars with other tribes, (2) death during hunts or (3) violence with other men in the tribe, various disputes resolved by violence and so on.
A key recent resource for this is “Before the Dawn” by Nicholas Wade.
Throwing pair bonding into the wind won’t work for the civilization. I think Roissy knows that.

@sestamibi/obs- the Jack Kemp strain in the GOP is really its only appeal to minorities. the other parts of the coalition are more or less open in their hostility to minorities/immigrants, etc.
the GOP has earned, and will get, many years in the political wilderness. in that time, they’ll learn to move toward the center to get votes and get back into power, as the Dems did in their DLC phase.
I’m reading the comments section on the youtube Rent-a-Dread video:
One comment:
“”Sex tourism by white, middle class, middle aged women is an open secret in Europe (Scandanavian and German women are absolutely notorious for travelling for this) and also North America (particularly Canadian women). Of course they would never admit to being what they are; namely sex tourists. They hide behind the “no money changed hands” lie. Maybe not directly, but they paid for the meals, accomodation, nights out etc,etc. An anti sex tourist campaign against these white women is called for.”"
Another commenter says African American women are doing it to.
The difference I see between this particular type of sex tourism and the one in Thailand is that the women are looking for adult men, not children. Child sex slavery is huge in Thailand. I’m not hearing that the female sex tourists are leaving Europe and North America/Canada so that they can have sex with little boys.
Besides, these Island men are obviously enjoying themselves by the looks of it in these videos.

I would actually expect that the world wars did not slow down the rise of computational power because military conflicts are, ironically, great boosters of technological advancements since the opposing sides are trying to outdo each other.
I was thinking more of the events such as the rise of radical religious movements, which is happening in the US to an extent with the advent of evangelical christians. Movements like that call upon society to denounce science and when they gain traction they could, for example, be powerful enough to force the government to cut down on scientific spending. Cutting edge science requires the best and the brightest educated in an unbiased and effective way. That’s more tenuous of a proposition than many of us would like to think.
“More white men indeed have moved in partisan ID to the conservative side of the spectrum. These conservative whites are now concentrated in the Bible Belt, essentially the poorest part of the country. These states receive a hell of a lot more federal dollars, “welfare” if you will, than the blue states where all the “pussies” live whose dollars support them. Typical de jure anti-welfare state attitudes with de facto subservience. Blame your damned brethren there.”
First, there are a lot of retirees moving to the Bible Belt because the cost-of-living is lower. They are taking their social security checks with them. As you know, social security is money owed to people who were forced by the government to save for retirement. It is not “federal money.”
Second, the Bible Belt has proportionately more blacks than any other part of the country. Those are the people receiving all of the Federal dollars.
The Republican white guys who are not retirees get nothing from the gravy train.
“Which is perferrable to men? A life long marriage with a wife who more than likely will not cheat on you, divorce you and sue you for alimony/child support OR having access to a multitude of single women whom you MIGHT be able to bed if you can get your game together?”
@Auntyji –
The former of course, because it ensures most men of mates. The latter option will always have a significant number of men who can’t “get their game together” for various reasons –> the first option would still give them mates.

I think the odds of this happening are getting smaller every day. Science is truly global and, apart from the most cutting edge military stuff, is shared globally. Any slowdown in technological progress in America would be met my an increase in China, or India, or Brazil, or whoever else constructed a society amiable to scientific progress.
Scientific minds and investment capital will always flow to where they’re best rewarded.
The only thing that can stop the singularity – in my view – is either nuclear war or some physical limit in the universe that we don’t understand or see (similar to Vinge’s Zones of Thought in A Fire Upon the Deep)

What percentage of scientists work in universities, where being a conservatvie is a career liability? I’m reminded of the first female PhD in—meterology I believe—who, following retirement “came out” as a partial global warming skeptic.
Her reason for being “closeted?” It was too damaging to her career to come out while practicing. She would have been denied grants left and right.
You’d find the same percentage of Hollywood actors claiming republicanism. Why? The industry is overwhelmingly and virulently democrat/liberal. To claim conservative/center-type values is a death knell, especially ina volatile industry like acting.
Only a few brave souls dare claim the R in these industries, and make many ideological compromises. How many R actors are against gay marriage? Why? BECAUSE THE INDUSTRY IS RIFE WITH GAYS. It would be like playing in the NBA and cracking black jokes; good luck finding a team that wants you.

lurker,
you’re wrong. most black are not poor, but middles class. granted that’s probably skewed toward lower middle class, but still people who work and don’t live off the government.
speaking of the black underclass, there is an opportunity to say something about what the future holds for the rest of america. in the popular imagination there’s this idea that every black guy has multiple baby-mamas. this doesn’t really make a lot of sense. it’s more likely that a small percentage of black alphas are doing most of the fathering, while others are being cuckolded or choose to be with woman who have been pumped and dumped by alphas.
what’s the motivation for those men? do they think they are the fathers in most cases or is this their only alternative when it comes to seeking mates?

It’s one thing to be a helpful friend, but it’s another to involve one’s self in such an arrangement and have the full responsibilities of being a parent and spouse. Mind you, if that’s what makes them happy, then my judgement is useless…
Which is perferrable to men?
The latter since women age and become useless for sex while the male sex drive keeps functioning…
Nah, Maurice. The Jack Kemp wing of the GOP is why the party is a joke. Kemp was a pro-welfare, pro-immigration, borderline Democrat. We saw the same thing with McCain’s nomination.
The GOP’s only realistic shot at success lies in having strong, smart, charismatic, unapologetically non-liberal, media-savvy hardcore right wing candidates.
Think Buchanan/Tancredo/Santorum, but without a loser stench. I’m not calling these guys losers, but they don’t have that rare quality that lets them transcend and overcome media demonization. Reagan, a right winger for his time, had that.
The establishment media momentarily saw a spectre of this in Sarah Palin, which is why they swarmed to destroy her.
In any case, if the GOP is ever to represent America’s ideals of Christian values and anglo-saxon liberties, they best shut the immigration door before they become demographically irrelevant.

Lance:
“granted that’s probably skewed toward lower middle class”
—we can agree on that, but I think you’re ignoring the percentage of blacks taking advantage of state social programs. Granted, there’s no corresponding chart to be found (tried google). And government assistance is totally welfare either. Section 8 housing for the poor. Social services for poor children. Government clinics in poor neighborhoods. The lower middle class blacks get these services as well.
“it’s more likely that a small percentage of black alphas are doing most of the fathering, while others are being cuckolded or choose to be with woman who have been pumped and dumped by alphas.”
—exactly. black families have broken down into the harem society, which is spreading to non-black families due to the lack of criticism of blacks society by non-black.
If you spend time in criminal courts, watch the routine drug cases that come through. The sentencing part is always telling: the big drug dealers always bring up there 6-10 young children, and how impacted they would be should the father be put in jail for a long time.
Smarter judges tend to note that the guy has those 6-10 kids by 6-8 different women, all at the same time, all miles apart, and hasn’t been supporting any of them; hence the claim of being a “good father” is severely undercut.
I’ve said this before: 3-5 generations into the black families collapse, we now must seriously look at inbreeding in black communities as a problem to be addressed. As fewer and fewer men are mating with the available women and not knowing their fathers, its now almost definite that black brothers are fucking half-sisters and not knowing it.

@Obsidian –
Create a system where most of them can have mates, or watch the civilization tank. Most of the those guys are not going to learn Game.
There’s no magic solution, as you know Obsidian. The only real one is to restore monogamy, and we know that isn’t going to happen. So decline is in the cards, unless technological advancements swamp these developments, and morph the culture in radical ways such that the issues we’re discussing become fundamentally irrelevant.
David Alexander, a man’s testosterone levels decrease as he ages and a woman’s T levels increase as she ages. That’s why you will find women in their 40s, even 50s, who are sex maniacs paired with husbands who can’t keep up with them. (perhaps why these women are renting Dreads in Jamaica’s renta-a-rest sex tourism industry).
That being said, if a person, man or woman, in their 60s or 70s is taking pills in order to increase their sex drive, I find it highly undignified. There is a reason why libido wanes after a certain age in both men and women. If by your 60s you do not have anything of interest to occupy your time besides sex, you are in a hopeless state and I feel sorry for your grand-kids.

NTW does make a valid point, though obscured by his race-baiting: many unnecessary gov’t jobs are held by black people as a result of gov’t expansion and quota policies.
Note that NYC had a private and profit-making subway in the past, but somehow, with subways jammed to overflowing and prices jacked up, the subways more inefficient, less advanced, and worse than at the time they were private.
The unnecessary take over and expansion of government jobs is an underlying factor in many ineffcient endeavors.
NTW,
True, the gov’t at all levels does indeed heavily employ Blacks; that said though, it must also be noted that many private businesses won’t hire Blacks unless pressured to do so. Now, you or indeed most here may agree w/that, fine. I’m just sayin.

Since marriage and the things that women provide to men within marriage is no longer anything more than an emotional commitment for women in our society, that’s in truth only an ongoing optional one, male spousal support should end with the marriage.
End all alimony and end the alimony component of child support. Non optional child support should be at no more than welfare levels. Beyond that the father should support his children according to his own sense of parental obligation. Women should marry men with a lot of that if they want to be sure of it after they divorce their husbands. Or — here’s an idea. Make the marriage work. As women in almost all other countries try much harder to do, than in feminist media, schools, and koffee klatches America.
That’s not the American identity. American identity is its pre-1965 demographics: 85% white (mostly anglo-saxon), 12% black, 3% “other,” everybody speaks English, and almost everybody is Chrisitan.
It’s interesting to note that with even with large amounts of immigration by Caribbeans and Africans and higher birth rates than whites, the black population has somehow stayed in the 12.5% range. IIRC, the black proportion peaked in the 1930s with 14% of the population being black…
Re: Quebec and University
Had I known that McGill (or Concordia) was so cheap by American standards, I would have attended school there in the first place. The only downside is that while it’s one of the top ranked schools in Canada, it’s still a lesser known school for Americans, it would have been a pain if I returned to the States and attempted to use it to sneak into the SWPL world.
As for why tuition is so cheap in Canada in general, I suspect the presence of basic no-frills colleges (or CEGEPs which function like community colleges covering the equivalent of the last year of high school and first year of college in Quebec) with few of the fringes of full blown universities helps in controlling costs, along with massive state aid to keep tuition low instead of using the need-based aid that can be easily manipulated. Plus, one must remember that in Canada, all colleges are basically owned by the provincial governments, but individually operated (with the except of the University of Quebec system which functions like a US state school network) which does promote some degree of competition. Also, Canadians are cheap ass weirdos who seem to like riding buses…

If observational, are they prospective or retro-? or aggregate studies? Are they case series? animal or human?
An interesting domain in the contemporary US where tech implications have an important role is the military.
The military is of course one of the last remaining bastions of traditional conservativism among our public institutions, and thus is the enemy and target of much ire by the other institutions (much of the gov’t (part. the civil service bureaucracies, universities, media, etc.).
It’s a holdout so far, but it has been under attack for the past couple decades, notably by the push for more women, changes in military policy towards gays, affirmative action in the service academies, etc.
Now despite being detested for its conservative core and character, the other public institutions in the US need the military in order to maintain their own prestige and power. After all, military power ultimately undergirds the current global architecture that maintains the US dollar as reserve currency, allows US intervention in other countries’ affairs through NGOs and other orgs that provide jobs/prestige/power to all those individuals in the other public institutions.
This drive to alter the military from its conservative core to become more like the other public institutions in terms of ideology, character will only be accelerated from here on out as more human personnel is replaced by robots and tech, as outlined by Peter Singer’s latest book “Wired for War.” As this tech change occurs, you can make do with fewer and fewer white men from red states manning the military, and just have fewer and fewer technocrats/bureaucrats man the tech/robot army.
So they can have a kind of total ideological unity among the various public/gov’t institutions.
As far as I can see this seems to be what we can expect in the next couple decades, barring any massive developments like war, currency/econ crisis, that abruptly intervenes to disrupt this process.
at the risk of boosting O’s ego, i will answer him:
It’s not that businesses won’t hire blacks; its that there are so few qualified blacks for the positions currently that they would not be hired if strictly based on merit.
however, both pr pressure and threats of eeoc investigation necessitate hiring more black workers that otherwise wouldn’t get the jobs.
its not pretty to say, because, O, I would like black workers to be more qualified. but I think that is an ought/is question.
Lurker, the majority of blacks are not poor. The poverty rate for blacks is 24.5%. The overall poverty rate is 12.5%. These estimates are from 2007 and given the recession are probably a bit low.
S. – some stats on welfare and poverty in the US:
The poverty line for one adult, non-elderly person is $11,000. For a family of four, the line is $22,000.
Food Stamps: The benefit is about $100 per person per month. About 10% of the population gets food stamps. 51% of those are kids and 9% are elderly. 41% are white and 36% are black.
TANF (cash assistance for families with children): The average benefit is $372 per month. About 1 million adults and 3 million children receive assistance. The number of people getting welfare has decreased by 57% since welfare reform in the mid nineties, and continues to decline each year. 21% work at least a few hours a week. 38% are white and 37% are black.
Housing assistance and Medicaid are harder to quantify so simply.
Long story short: 1) Most blacks are not poor and do not receive welfare. However, a larger percentage of blacks receive welfare compared to other groups. 2) the benefits aren’t that generous, way fewer people are getting them now anyway, and most of those people are kids.
@PA- disagree about Jack Kemp. his core belief of capitalist oportunity for everyone, and government policies to extend *that* into the ghettos and immigrant communities instead of welfare, is enormously powerful and appealing. buchanan/tancredo/santorum are *exactly* what is horribly wrong with the party: they’ve turned it into a narrow, theocratic, foreigner-hating echo chamber. it’s obviously necessary to defend traditional civilization, values, freedoms, etc. but it has to be done in an expansive, inclusive, forward-looking way, not a crabbed, bigoted, anti-science, backward-looking way. gingrich as his best is as close to this as we’ve got, but the echo chamber is so all-encompassing that he panders to it instead of leading it, as he used to be able to do.
lest you all beat up on me as a pinko-leftie. i’ve been a registered Republican for 15+ years and worked for a time in a Republican political office in Congress.
Pookie, did you factor in state welfare?

DA,
i can’t believe i’m taking this troll bait… but, dammit man… you’re obviously a smart dude. why don’t you stop feeling sorry for yourself, get the fuck out of your parents basement, and do something.
fuck… who knows… maybe it’s all some sort of elaborate rouse and you’re really an internet millionaire who plays this sad sack character online.
Lurker,
No offence taken; I have no problem w/a lack of qualified Black staff and workers.
What I DO have a problem with, is seeing those who tout such things then turn around and hook THEIR peeps up, and please do not try to BS me about this. It happens, all the time.
Hence the reason why so many Blacks are deeply suspicious when White folks, especially White Males, makes such a big deal about being “qualified”.
O
roissy, i saw on the news that some people have claimed to have created sperm, although some other people doubt that they would be functional. don’t know much about any of the people involved, but it’s the kind of thing you should address
Pookie, as pointed out, that is 1) only the federal rate; states have their own welfare systems, which sometimes are more generous 2) non-welfare contributions (section 8, government clinics, etc.) are public assistance, and there are a ton of those.
Plus, re: food stamps: If 10% of the population gets food stampts ( a form of public assistance), and 36% of that # is black, then, given a rough US population of 300 Million, then 10.8 million black people receive food stamps.
Since 12.5% of the country is black, that’s about 37.5 million blacks. That means, roughly 29% of blacks–nearly 1/3–are on food stamps.
So if 1/4 of blacks are considered “poverty level” and 1/3 are on food stamps, that’s quite a lagre percentage.
And throw in in lower middle class (a social misnomer that once meant “poor, but with a mortgage”), and the other assistance (Section 8, etc.), the rough numbers seem to approach 50%.
@David Alexander:
CEGEPs only exist in Quebec. We don’t have an equivalent of it in Ontario. But yes, university is relatively inexpensive compared to the U.S. because of massive government aid. I don’t understand how a middle class family funds university in the States. Oh, and McGill is generally ranked in the top 50 worldwide, University of Toronto, in the top 25.
Doug1 – I am in full agreement with you about “no-fault” Alimony which is an outright violation of the 13th Ammendment. Like that other scarlett letter word, Adultery, alimony hails from a time where it was used to punish immoral spouses. It has no place in a post-fault ammoral world. Nowdays the people who are breaking the marriage contract (women who file 66-75% of divorces) are the ones who get paid “the damages” 96% of the time. So this old moral-tool, got deployed in an ammoral setting, allowing itself to be bastardized into an immoral-instrument by those crafy divorce-filing wives.
My theory is that if we get even 1 state to abolish alimony outright, then it can be used as a template to roll out to other states. Texas currently has the closest one with a hard 3-year cap. I am not aware of any full-abolishment states.
Perhaps this Alimony Battle going on in Mass right now may give us our first full-abolishment state after all the chips fall. This is a slim prospect, but we will soon find out. Here are more developments on this story:
1. The original female journalist who ran the expose piece on the Boston Magazine, getting interviewed by the local Fox news station:

2. Huffington Post’s Damning Criticism of the Female Senator trying to block the reform vote:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/elizabeth-benedict/divorce-arianna-style-c-2_b_228771.html
Also, Novaseeker wrote an assessment of the current situation here:
http://novaseeker.blogspot.com/2009/07/game-on-in-massachusetts.html
we talk a lot about race and a lot about gender, but almost never about age; at least not age in the political sense. the fact that obama ran away with the female and the minority vote is important, but so is the age split.
one of the things about traditional societies is that respect and status comes with age and wisdom. contemporary american society, especially on the coasts, has become extremely youth-centric. there’s a bigger premium put on being cool, and less on being tempered. we are increasingly a society obsessed with novelty
one of the things we can do to help this is to stop spoiling kids. the more little princes and princesses we create, the more they’ll be living their lives like a fairy tale.
“Hence the reason why so many Blacks are deeply suspicious when White folks, especially White Males, makes such a big deal about being “qualified”.”
How dare anybody is asked to be able to read, write and show up on time! Bastards! Must be racism. Maybe blacks could start their own businesses and hire each other. Probably too much to ask.
“End all alimony and end the alimony component of child support. Non optional child support should be at no more than welfare levels. Beyond that the father should support his children according to his own sense of parental obligation.”
@doug1 –
Indeed. That’s the bullshit of “child support”: it goes way beyond actual child support, and includes keeping the child in the same standard of living pre-divorce — which also almost always means keeping ex-wife in the same standard of living … precisely the standard of alimony. So the ex-wife gets de facto alimony under the guise of child support, regardless of what she did in the marriage or her financial ability to support herself, or her remarriage to a wealthy man. It is alimony that is assessed on a no-fault basis and survives remarriage under the “ruse” that it is “child support”. Massive unjustified wealth transfers to ex-wives is what it is in reality.
a concrete example of harem society on the unemployed side of my city.
DrugLord-OI (now in prison I believe) suffers from a milder form of OI, a highly heritable crippling genetic defect. He is short, ugly, smells bad, threatening, and the only “client” I’ve ever been afraid of, and deferential to . He is also appears to be wealthy. He has fathered 6 OI babies by many baby-mommas. These women hang on him and accept the risk of his genes in exchange for the financial support and welfare money. Meanwhile his OI babies chew up lots of health care $$$ paid for by you.
American whites is the least racist block in the world. Anyone who disagrees doesn’t know anything about the world (i.e., is a Democrat).
Try going to China and protesting the government’s treatment of Uighurs. Or going to Saddam-era Iraq and protesting the government’s treatment of Kurds.
Maybe blacks could start their own businesses and hire each other
That’s called the government of DC, Detroit, New Orleans, Philly, Baltimore, etc…
Lance–
A great many people here have been down the road you’re starting on with DA, going back two years now. Many persisted a long time.
It hasn’t worked.
DA is a very low testosterone, low drive in general, fairly sociable, attention whore. His fairly intelligent comments combined with his “it’s simply hopeless, no woman I’m attracted to SHOULD want me” routine has worked for lots of attention, until finally people get fed up, and largely ignore him. (Though O still hasn’t, entirely.)
Then newer people like you start to notice him. And off it goes again.
RE: Welfare
I’d also include the whole home loan disaster, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, CRA stuff, etc.. for blacks/latinos as welfare. We don’t really know how much that is going to cost. I’m betting more than I ever want to know, but we’re gonna find out.
I didn’t factor in state/local programs because they’d all be different. I really doubt there are many that are much more generous. San Francisco is an exception; they give everybody everything. The free car thing is ridiculous. I’d like to see the official description from the state about that program though. All I can find are little green footballs blogs and the like.
Canada, as a nation, would not exist if not for the support America provides.
1) America consumes 70% of Canada’s exports.
2) America’s military effectively allows Canada to keep its military down to one-fifth of the size it would otherwise need to be.
3) America enables Canadians to escape the 3-month waiting lists for surgeries that Canadians are subjected to.
— it’s obviously necessary to defend traditional civilization, values, freedoms, etc.
How?

S,
I agree. U.S. race politics is f’ed up. It was really jarring for me to see the stark racial-class divide in places like Atlanta., Newark, and D.C.
It is mostly blacks who are responsible for this, not whites.
Across America, you will see whites and Asians fully integrated. So ‘race’ is clearly not the issue. Behavior and economic contribution is.
novaseeker–
Yes indeed. Amen.
The laws must be changed.
In the meantime, since it’s impossible to do much if anything about this on the child support front in a prenup under current family law, the prenup should provide a divorcing wife, certainly if child support is to be paid, nothing else that she didn’t earn. No separate alimony for sure, and no part of the marital assets that she didn’t earn.
“DA is a very low testosterone, low drive in general…”
Ooh no he aint,doug!Theres a side to ‘ol Dave few people know about.Here he is recently in Louisiana,struttin’ his stuff.
Pookie, CA, NY, MA, and NJ all have very generous ones.
A good indicator is if the state itself has raised the minimum wage above the national requirement. I know NY and MA have, and NJ and CA seem very likely as well; therefore, people in those states who make above minimum federal wage at 40hr per week jobs but below state levels would likely receive more assistance.
MA is famous for bad fiscal policy; they had a succession of R governors who were basically dems in spending.
FS,
Actually, Blacks did just that-and it was burned down, by angry, jealous Whites. It was called the Black Wall Street incident out in Oklahoma, home to both John Hope Franklin and the GAP Band, who took their name from the major three streets where the bulk of the White Riot took place. Fun historical fact.
O
Biologically, the basic male approach to getting something is to go get it…you want meat for dinner, go catch a wooly mammoth. The basic female approach is to get someone else–usually but not always a man–to do it..”hey I’m hungry//go catch something or I’m out of here.”
THis doesn’t happen 100% of the time of course//women often do things for themselves and men often get someone else to do them//but it is an underlying trend. People with the basic female approach will be more inclined to socialist & big govt policies.
The problem they’re not thinking about is that when everyone follows the basic female approach there’s no one to catch the wooly mammoth and no meat to plead for or demand.

@ PA & maurice:
i was just reading an article in Foreign Policy about the year 1979 when all these counterrevolutionary movements happened: thatcher, reagan, khomenei, deng, etc. the article made this distinction between being counterrevolutionary and being conservative. for me this is an important distinction. conservatives tend to just want to go back, whereas counterrevolutionaries want to move forward while correcting all the excesses of the revolution.
we can’t go back to the ‘good ol’ days’ when women stayed home and stayed silent, the darkies knew their place, and we kept everyone else out of the country. that’s not going to happen, and those days probably weren’t as good as some like to imagine them. the only hope is in the future. there’s nothing wrong with increasing individual freedom so long as you hold people accountable for what they do.
you know who you are if i am correct.
I suspect he/she knows who they are either way
Pookie and Lance, a thought:
Perhaps the charts may be skewed on states where there is little spent on welfare by the state itself—i.e., the feds calculate state benefits and increase theirs if your state doesn’t comepnsate well enough?
I don’t know the answer to that. I’m just trying to get clear picture, since we all agree that state-levels and red-blue-purple maps would be more telling.
“Fun historical fact.”
And nobody has tried again, too dangerous. Lotsa Klansmen riding around on horseback I suppose.
student loans are subsidies which merely increase demand for school to the detriment of other activities that students could engage in like learning a trade, working in a factory, or some other career path.
it also decreases the marginal value of college degrees to the point that my degree is worth nothing.
its a dilemma for me though because i’ve lived off student loans throughout my bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

The_Judge:
Kurzweil’s predictions are just a particularly nerdy way of escaping reality. He’s constructed an über-nerdy outlook on the world in which nothing matters except technology, and then combined it with extravagantly exaggerated visions of technological progress.
You can see best how silly his arguments are when he ventures into non-computer fields like economics or politics. (He once predicted we’d have a world government by 2020, and he’s looking forward to it.) Even his technical predictions have been mostly oscillating between obvious and wrong, and his long-term predictions about strong AI and human-machine interfaces are a complete fantasy given the present state of knowledge.
Putting aside the simplistic D.C. Villager pap that Democrats = pussies while the 101st pasty fat-fuck fighting keyboard commandos here play John Wayne in their backyard bunkers and cheer on other people to go fight their wars,
What, like Obama sending more troops into Afghanistan?
It’s amazing how the press can twist things based on who they like. When combat deaths rose under Bush it was “King Bush II’s Policies Kill More Poor American Soldiers”. I just read an article yesterday about the increase in deaths in Afghanistan, under Obama’s command, but the twist was “Yes more soldiers are dying, but we have to expect sacrifice if we want The One to bring us victory.”
I hate the press. And I hate liberals who demonize a Republican for war deaths but praise a Democrat even though that same Democrat swore that the wars would be over and the troops home the minute he was in office.
More white men indeed have moved in partisan ID to the conservative side of the spectrum. These conservative whites are now concentrated in the Bible Belt, essentially the poorest part of the country. These states receive a hell of a lot more federal dollars, “welfare” if you will, than the blue states where all the “pussies” live whose dollars support them.
I’m somewhat familiar with data on Federal spending per state, and I don’t see any such correlation.
* In absolute terms, the states with the largest populations receive the most dollars. California and New York are hardly Bible states.
* In terms of dollars taxed versus dollars spent by state I don’t see a strong correlation with the Bible belt states, or with “red” states. There may be a weak one, but this is a very misleading statistic any way because the data includes all Federal spending, not just “welfare”. If there are a large number of military bases in a low population / small economy state, then that state is being labeled as a “welfare recipient” when in fact their state is being used to a larger degree to help protect the entire nation. The same could be said for other Federal projects which result in money being spent in the state but benefits for the entire nation.
* In terms of Federal welfare spending per capita by state, the statistic we should probably be going by, the list has plenty of blue states near the top, and blue states occupy the top three positions. http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives/2009/04/per_capita_fede.php
Nice try though.
And you can’t pin that one on the “pussies”.
Why not? Their policies allow it regardless of who uses it the most.
“”Since marriage and the things that women provide to men within marriage is no longer anything more than an emotional commitment for women in our society, that’s in truth only an ongoing optional one, male spousal support should end with the marriage.
End all alimony and end the alimony component of child support. Non optional child support should be at no more than welfare levels. Beyond that the father should support his children according to his own sense of parental obligation. Women should marry men with a lot of that if they want to be sure of it after they divorce their husbands. Or — here’s an idea. Make the marriage work. As women in almost all other countries try much harder to do, than in feminist media, schools, and koffee klatches America.”"
From my well-travelled experience, marriage has a different connotation in more traditional cultures than it does here.
Here, people are looking for “soul mates”. They expect their spouse to “complete” them.
A husband is expected to be a father figure, brother figure, best friend, comedian, lover and romantic genious on the level of Don Juan DeMarco, provider, financial advisor, caretaker, shrink and doctor all rolled into one.
A wife is expected to be a mother figure, sister figure, best friend, comedian, ideal hostess, porn star fetishist, caretaker, nurse, empathetic listener/counselor, financial contributor and Betty Crocker/Rachel Ray all rolled into one.
Both are impossible standards to meet.
In traditional cultures marriage is not about love or romance or exploring the outer limits of one’s dark side of sexuality.
In traditional cultures that have low to nil divorce, marriage is about DUTY. Anything extra is an added bonus but not a requirement. (and forget exploring the dark edge of your sexuality).
It is also not uncommon in those cultures for the ENTIRE family to live together. Western men are not into that since they have been cultivating independence since the age of 18 or younger and they value their space.
“herb will vote as his wife tells him.”
After 20 years of marriage, I can tell you my husband has never voted based on my opinion, nor has he ever come around to my point of view. He is not a jerk, just confident. He has just said, no. We don’t have vast disagreements. The few times we have disagreed significantly, I ended up going along with what he wanted.

Obsidian – FS,
Actually, Blacks did just that-and it was burned down, by angry, jealous Whites. It was called the Black Wall Street incident out in Oklahoma….
Referring to a street filled with negro owned businesses housed in old wooden buildings as “The Black Wall Street” is a historical joke.
It was only given that name long after the fact.
The black riots from the 1960s onward killed more people and destroyed far more property than what happened in dried out old Tulsa..
The Greenwood riot occurred but the historical treatment is one of the great hoaxes in American history.
The exaggerated death rate is a massive hoax.
The actual deaths were 39; 26 black, 13 white. Yet propagandists claim 300 to 3000!!!! blacks killed.
But the larger issue of black failure to create a black economic network in America remains the same. One neighborhood in a small town in remote Oklahoma is completely irrelevant to the larger issue of black failure in the economic realm.
Wow…Deep.
FS,
As Maurice has pointed out, there are quite a few Black businesses around. You may have heard of them, like Motown Records, or the Jordan sneaker brand, or Rocawear, or Phat Farm/Baby Phat, and so on.

“In it’s pure state, however, his theories are a wonder to behold and many ideas gave me tons to think about. The basic premise is that within the next few decades we will be able to merge completely with our technology and become free of the constraints of our physical bodies. At that point we will be able to conduct scientific research fueled by untold computational powers coupled with the human intuition, which we are supposed to retain (otherwise it wouldn’t be a successful merger). The end result will be a period of almost instantaneous and almost infinite advancement in our knowledge. We will create a hive mind of sorts and eventually, in all likelihood, lose the need for individuality and focus on constant expansion of out computational power by transforming all matter in the universe into the most densely packed computational units.
Yeah, that’ll happen.
RE: asians assimilating with whites. Whites are more open to living next door to asians than living next door to blacks, in general.
Anyone over the age of 65 is a racist in this country because they grew up during segregation. Not everyone maybe, but everyone I’ve met.
Once that generation dies off completely, there will be hope for better relations.
Asian Americans just don’t have the same history in this country that African Americans have, so while suburban whites would prefer to live next door to other whites, they don’t mind living next door to Asians, but they are still not comfortable living next door to African Americans, and if they are over the age of 65, they absolutely DO NOT want black neighbors.
Sad but true.
Arrakis: Short answer: Canada IS screwed. What are you smoking?
Long answer:
Countries can become liberal and not fall apart as long as they keep their core populations who are usually high IQ, productive, and ethnically homogeneous. This is why things like universal health care works(ed) in those countries. Nobody minds chipping in for health care, because they know that the guy across the country is chipping in too, and you get a sense of being on the same team when 95% of the population is ethnically and culturally similar, so you have an affinity for those who needed help.
Problems arise when these liberal countries decide it would be fun to import millions of third worlders instead of reproducing on their own. Canada is the worst of the bunch in this regard. We have the highest per capita immigration rate on earth. The government promotes this supposedly because ordinary Canadians are not reproducing in sufficient numbers. The NDP actually wants to double our immigration rate, to 2% of our population per year.
So we have all the problems that Roissy mentioned and then some: Women moving to the big city and not reproducing, voting for BIG government to subsidize their lifestyle, and large scale population replacement. This goes largely unnoticed, as the immigrants mainly stick to 3 big cities, and our remaining social capital and institutions are quite strong and can keep things going for a while. Plus, we are a polite society, and what manners won’t keep quiet, new laws criminalising “hate speech” will.
This is, of course, unsustainable. The government is working night and day to destroy our national identity and replace us with foreigners. Canadians, for their part, have simply rolled over, but it can’t last forever.
Maurice – nope, not me.
Lurker – re: state/federal aid: maybe, but I would guess no. The reason is that so much federal spending on these types of programs is “matching” the state expenditures at some rate. Medicaid does it this way, and it’s got to be the largest “welfare” program out there.
roissy:
“Is it good for humanity if a socially enforced monogamous marriage system gives 90+% of men access to pussy and the replication of their genes?”
i’ve long been confronted with this conundrum. if you can (and novaseeker might have some insight), help me think it through.
on the one hand, we decry the fact that women are able to lead serial monogomous lives in which they don’t have to fully commit to men, but on the other hand, that may lead (and probably does) to a fitter species. a woman no longer has to select for just any ol’ male presence. she can now select for the most socially dominant and/or most handsome man she can find. it seems to me that marriage might have some dysgenic qualities if women no longer have to “settle”.
but this line of thinking also supports some other radical notions such as cuckoldry and possibly even rape. if a woman is so attracted to another man that she has to have sex with him, bear his child, and let another man raise it, this is probably good for the child’s genes, but it’s horrible for society.
Well, pookie, I guess we just need more charts; however, given the current state of the left-wing media describing things as “red or blue” only (thus stroking their egos, since most states went “blue” last election), we won’t get a purple chart or state-federal chart together comparison.
I won’t disown my hypothesis–I do feel lower middle class is a cover, and not counting certain housing and public programs as welfare is not kosher, and that states and cities (NYC, San Fran) dole out more than feds to larger swaths. But I agree you’ve made some good points.
@lance – excellent point and reference re counterrevolutionaries. that’s exactly what we are, isn’t it? anti-feminist counterrevolutionaries. who know we can’t turn the clock back, but want to purge the evil execesses and mistakes out of the system going forward.
Lance, i think your statement about it “never” going back ignores the circular nature of history.
At the decay of every society, women skanked it up, gays flaunted themselves and got people to convert, religion was abandoned, and cosmopolitan diversity reigned.
Then the societies collapsed, transportation ebbed, and the reverse happened: gays were shunned, women were supposed to be pure, religion reinforced itself, and isolated tribalism emerged.
It happens over centuries, not minutes; that we may not see it does not mean it won’t happen. A view of just Italy’s history—stoic Rome, then Caligula Rome, then religious rome, then corrupt papist rome, the counter-reformation Rome, then back to secular society increasingly ignoring religion—-reinforces this. Societies are not static or even linear, but circular in morality and evolution.
Chuck,
What you said also flows right into my inverted-HBD counter argument, which instead focuses on the extreme Right End of the Male IQ Bell Curve. We are now becoming more and more reliant on Asian and Indian IT talent from China and India-yet the very things that make them so gifted also are serious drawbacks in the areas that today’s Woman want and seekout in a Male.
Do you agree with me that this may indeed grow to be a serious problem, socially? If so/not, why?
Thanks.

If that guy doesn’t care that his wife was obviously cheating on him and simply wants to convert his marriage into an open one, that’s his issue.

“”on the one hand, we decry the fact that women are able to lead serial monogomous lives in which they don’t have to fully commit to men, but on the other hand, that may lead (and probably does) to a fitter species. a woman no longer has to select for just any ol’ male presence. she can now select for the most socially dominant and/or most handsome man she can find. it seems to me that marriage might have some dysgenic qualities if women no longer have to “settle”.
but this line of thinking also supports some other radical notions such as cuckoldry and possibly even rape. if a woman is so attracted to another man that she has to have sex with him, bear his child, and let another man raise it, this is probably good for the child’s genes, but it’s horrible for society.”"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Don’t forget the fact that when sex becomes widely available (to both genders), alot of “unwanted children” are being born and not well cared for. They grow up repeating what their parents did and you end up with generation after generation of un-wanted and not very well cared for kids growing into psychologically imbalanced adults.
Its a mess.
Auntyji–
Yes there was.
Maybe not as large as it is today, but sizable in most countries and eras. Often poorer girls in cities, or even villages. As well there were a lot of semi prostitutes as well as full fledged ones, who really got into their work esp. with some customers. Bar maids who sometimes did tavern guests, for money or occasionally not. And so on.

@Chuck –
The problem with this is that the species is not *solely* genetic, it is also socially developed. In other words, if we follow evo-psych and genetic supremacy type theories to their logical conclusions, most men will not mate, and while you have have a nice gene pool, no society can be maintained without most men finding mates. Generally civilization needs investment from most men in it in order for it to not only be maintained but to progress and thrive — having a mate has been what has provided this motivation to men so far in history.
Now we could either (1) genetically modify most men to be worker bees (not only effectively castrate them, but somehow modify them to be motivated to productivity and investment despite being denied sex and a mate) or (2) transition the species to a hybrid machine/human species (post-humanity a la Kurzweil), where everyone is an alpha/10, and all sex is virtual, or (3) something else that is not predictable at this time is discovered and deployed to motivate the masses of men who go without mates in a de facto polygamous system.
In other words, looking at it from the perspective of genetic optimization is fine, but unless you take care of the social impact of that, the effect on the species is nevertheless negative, rather than positive.

“Okay, seriously…for any of you that live in the United States, our taxes range from 1%-2% being taken out by the State/Federal government for Welfare. That’s it.”
Are you high? Half of all medical care $ spent in the US are from the federal gov’t. Medicaid is welfare you know. We are subsidizing single moms to raise the next generation of high school dropouts and criminals. Don’t forget rent controlled apts, section 8 housing, and education for all the kids whose parents aren’t contributing.
the truth:
Auntyji = WhiteGirl
good call. i just checked the ip. you are correct.
Nova,
I posed some questions to Chuck, whose comments you qouted and responded to. But what do you make of my questions in relation to Chuck’s post? How do you see things here, in what is essentially The New Grrl Order?
O
1. Artificial egg/sperm.
2. Artificaly womb.
3. Nanny robot.
The reproduction half of the problem solved.
Now to focus on our sexual wants/needs/desires … that’s an open question.
Once upon the internet
There strode a fighting form
To fight insipid feminists
He sinned against the norm
Advising bald oeconomists
Uniting kings and masses
Shaming married barelymen
And slaying classy lasses
Thick was the fray below his words
And full of shit detection
Diminish not his manly deeds,
And portents of the next election

“that’s exactly what we are, isn’t it? anti-feminist counterrevolutionaries. who know we can’t turn the clock back, but want to purge the evil execesses and mistakes out of the system going forward.”
Uh, no.
I know some anti feminist counter revolutionaries. They are happily married and have 6 kids in suburbia.
Not too late,
You can think whatever you’d like, put that percentage is accurate and includes section 8 and things like that.
Well I’m a single mother and I’m not on welfare and my taxes pay for those families as well. Also, “welfare” is for men, women, and children…..not “single mothers”. Plenty of married couples receive welfare as well. You should actually look into these things instead of just believing the ridiculous hysteria. All they need to do is be more strident on these people and make them get and retain jobs in order to keep their benefits.
Not reward them by paying them more if they’re out of work or pop out more kids.
Roissy–
While Roissy isn’t explicitly calling for the later, the logic is clear isn’t it?
Roissy: women shouldn’t have been given the vote. That’s when a lot of this started getting out of hand in fairly short order.
Numerous commenters: “But now that they have it, and have the divorce and child support laws and affirmative action and so on laws that they do, how do we reverse any of that, given the female majority, the unwillingness of people to give up rights and advantages voluntarily once obtained, and so on? It’s nice to dream about, but how?”
Doug1: “Do we need a military coup, or can persuasion work? Let’s try persuasion”.
aoefe, bhetti, mandy, lilgirl, all more or less: yes lets try. What program, where to start, how do we do it? Women’s support crucial, but male leadership needed.
the assembled at Roissy’s: “beats the hell out of us how persuasion could work”, mostly expressed through silence, but sometimes voiced.
***********
See Roissy’s “aside” above.
Disturbing thoughts to me too, but it’s been the logic for some time now.
roissy
I swear to God, that was going to be my next comment.
She’s the most cleaver feminist troll we’ve had on here yet.
She’s trying various undermining approaches to the whole idea of either game or men’s rights, or anything else this site stands for. (Other than Obsidian’s now clear to many agenda.)
“Kurzweil’s predictions are just a particularly nerdy way of escaping reality. He’s constructed an über-nerdy outlook on the world in which nothing matters except technology, and then combined it with extravagantly exaggerated visions of technological progress.
You can see best how silly his arguments are when he ventures into non-computer fields like economics or politics. (He once predicted we’d have a world government by 2020, and he’s looking forward to it.) Even his technical predictions have been mostly oscillating between obvious and wrong, and his long-term predictions about strong AI and human-machine interfaces are a complete fantasy given the present state of knowledge.”
I agree that he’s probably overly optimistic about the technological progress while the world at large is not as single-mindedly focused on scientific research and development. I stated something to that effect in my earlier post. I think we can forgive him that since science and technology are obviously his forte.
However, I don’t think that his predictions are necessarily that outlandish, even if some of his prior prophecies turned out to be wrong. Past performance isn’t always indicative of the future. We could very well be on the verge of a technological leap. My best guess is that while it won’t happen as soon as Kurzweil predicts, it will happen eventually and it is not too far away.
The trouble with technological advancements is that they usually come in unexpected forms – meaning that what we expect to be invented doesn’t materialize, but we get other achievements, often greater than envisioned.
Strong AI is one of the things that we’ve been expecting for a while, but unfortunately the progress seems to have stalled and there’s been little to write home about in recent years. The biggest problem here is that we still just don’t understand how intelligence works and the best we can do is to built models to approximate it in attempts to reverse engineer. That, so far, has proven unsuccessful. It remains to be seen if a breakthrough will come and it is an anticipated one since it’s one of the key steps on the road to a singularity.
everyone lighten up.
im with g manifesto on this one.
@novaseeker
Your link about the guy who doesn’t car about his wife cheating on him disgusted me and pointedly showed how weak and differential men have become.
What is wrong with western men? Can’t they see how weak they look?
On a side note, I remember my fellow graduate students from overseas having the time of their lives with American women. I once asked one stupidly, sine he has been dating the girl a long time, will he marry her? He looked at me with a surprised expression and told me, “You have been in this country too long. Why would I marry a whore? I’m just one in a long line of men that she has spread her legs for…”
The chart doesn’t have the 2008 election, in which the gender gap of white voters was only four points. In fact, even if not a single woman had voted in 2008 election, Obama would still have a plurality of the popular vote. Have eunuchs and beta boys taken over the country, or was it just working class white guys being pissed about the economy and Iraq?
Of course, I find it interesting that someone who believes that voting is a pointless exercise would have so many postings on this issue.
I thought those queefs smelled familiar…
Re: Singularity – I don’t think this will be achieved in our lifetime. We are going to die in these bodies that we are born into.
Also I have always felt cynical about humans being able to upload their thoughts/consciousness into a computorium and “go all digital”. One day, we may be able to create exact copies of any given human inside a computorium, but will not be *that* human. I.e. the original guy will die a biological death when his time comes, while there is an AI program in the computorium that *thinks* he is that guy. The AI-copy may live for a long time, if not eternally, but the guy himself will have died out along with his flesh/bone wetware a long time ago.
A similar version of this paradox is known at the “Transporter Paradox”. It is interesting reading if you Google it.
Sorry , I meant “Teleporter Paradox” above.
Except mass immigration seems to be an inevitable outcome wherever liberalism holds sway.
Re: Singularity – I don’t think this will be achieved in our lifetime. We are going to die in these bodies that we are born into.
One thing to keep in mind is even if we don’t get there in 75 years (what you’re considering ‘lifetime’) the definition of lifetime is constantly expanding. Once it expands at a rate greater than 1 year of life expectancy / year, then we will have eliminated the correlation between age and chance of death.
Also I have always felt cynical about humans being able to upload their thoughts/consciousness into a computorium and “go all digital”. One day, we may be able to create exact copies of any given human inside a computorium, but will not be *that* human.
I thought a lot about this for awhile. I’m more optimistic. We may not be able to upload our consciousness and be the same person, but we can rebuild our bodies 1 cell at a time until we are 100% man-made without ever effecting consciousness. You get to the same place – the cure of aging.
Roissy –
The trouble with this Roissy is that in the modern technological world intelligence and inventiveness is much more important than it was before the agricultural revolution, and certainly before the commercial credit / capitalist revolution (beginning in the Rennaissance) and then the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions in the 17th and 18th centuries.
IQ is now more important than ever. Social leadership and dominance remains valuable, of course. But high testosterone combined with low intelligence is a positive social detriment, not just from the point of view of a particular society and it’s values but from that of urban technological civilization in general. Yet women will reliably be more attracted to this type than to high IQ, low testosterone types. (Not all or even an overwhelming majority of high IQ men have very low testosterone. Perhaps most true geniuses do though. Still not all. Thank god.)
In other words, from an objective evolitionary point of view, greatest gina tingles are now selecting for the wrong things.
This was handled fine in East Asian and Euro societies (and also Arab Muslim ruled ones) by marriage customs and rules than regulated who got the pretty girls, or girls at all. No these weren’t real meritocracies and some not much at all, but the really smart tended to become economically successful, or at least enough so to have a wife (and probably quite an attractive one) and many children.
This isn’t being handled so well now, to the extent the reports back from the 20 something and even early 30s trenches told here are accurate. I still think the vast majority of high IQ men will be able to reproduce if they want to. The trouble is the disincentives to want to if their wife will be encouraged by this culture and her likely slutty past to divorce him while his kids are still growing and hit him with massive divorce and child support=alimony theft.
That is Scientifically incorrect in every way possible. Females in most early cultures worked just as hard at “securing food” as the men. Hence “Hunter/Gatherer” both entail being able to get your own food.
Furthermore animals like the Lion, for example are part of nature and the female Lion does ALL of the hunting AND the protecting of the Pride. The male lion literally does nothing except eat the food and sleep.
Your statement is just really really inaccurate.
@Anonymous
Putting aside the simplistic D.C. Villager pap that Democrats = pussies while the 101st pasty fat-fuck fighting keyboard commandos here play John Wayne in their backyard bunkers and cheer on other people to go fight their wars, as well as the childlike needling of utilizing the “Democrat Party” rhetorical device…here’s what’s underlying this stuff that Roissy fails to recognize
Wow what a surprise, a elitist liberal throws out hatred instead of arguing facts.
It might interest you to know that factually you are wrong. Democratically controlled states spend a much higher percentage of funds on welfare than Republican states. over 30% of New Yorkers are on some welfare program.
Hey but don’t let facts get in your way. Stupidity might by a highly valued trait amongst your friends but not in this blog.
friends but not in this blog.
Rain that is where should maybe reconsider the male lion doesn’t hunt so that he can always always protect. So at no point is he tired where he cannot protect the pride from interlopers. He is the one that is killing the hyenas that come to steal food.
S,
But the question is why African-American economic contributions are so low? Is slavery mentality that persistent?
Excellent question. To answer it, let’s dispense of the US-centric worldview.
Look ANYWHERE in the world, and blacks are always the lowest performing race. Whenever blacks exist alongside any other group (whether whites, mestizos, Arabs, or Indians), blacks will be poorer than the other group in that country. 100% of the time, without fail. Whether Brazil, Kenya, Guyana, South Africa, or France.
Countries run by blacks are among the poorest in the world. This cannot possibly be the fault of the US, Britain, etc.
And no, they are not genetically dumber. I reject this explanation too.
Rather, African culture is so counter-productive, that blacks are still bound by their African limitations, centuries after they are detached from Africa.
African culture is what has enslaved them, in the grand scheme of things.
Seeking Alpha: I thought a lot about this for awhile. I’m more optimistic. We may not be able to upload our consciousness and be the same person, but we can rebuild our bodies 1 cell at a time until we are 100% man-made without ever effecting consciousness. You get to the same place – the cure of aging.
Yes that gradual approach may work. One cell at a time. Or even replacing a brain cell neuron with an artificial piece, one “diode” at a time. Theoretically you could get to 100% replacement without the sentience, i.e. “you”, ever noticing. I guess the same could be true for going digital a little bit at a time, although there would be this awkward transition period where certain brain-operations were conducted in the old wetware, and certain activities conducted in the artifical computational material (i.e. computorium).
Of course the male lion can hunt he had to raise himself to be big and strong alone.
Sorry, Lady Raine
Your numbers are just plain wrong.
You said:
“Not reward them by paying them more if they’re out of work or pop out more kids.”
This is illogical. Don’t pay for the first one either. Consider illegal immigrants who come to have their baby here. These people are the lowest class. Food stamps and WIC is actually an improvement.
Any welfare is an incentive to dependency.
Not all single moms are on welfare, but welfare moms are single.
Actually Gunslinger I thought the same thing, but apparently it’s not true. Zoologists have learned that while it’s common knowledge that female lions do the hunting (which is why they’re all one color to be camouflage) they ALSO are the defenders of the pride. The male lion typically only attacks when directly provoked.
The male lion is described by Zoologists as being “lazy and an eyesore that attracts danger to the Pride” because of his big reddish-brown afro.
not too late–
Sorry, but they’re not “my numbers”. Those are factual statistics of what the average percentage per state is (2%) and the average Federal (1%)
“Medicaid” is not really Welfare because most adults do NOT qualify for Medical Assistance unless they are physically disabled (which is credible reason) or if they are a child or a pregnant woman. Medical assistance drops the mother as soon as she’s no longer pregnant. Medical literally covers ONLY pregnant women and children. Not “single mothers”
O:
“We are now becoming more and more reliant on Asian and Indian IT talent from China and India-yet the very things that make them so gifted also are serious drawbacks in the areas that today’s Woman want and seekout in a Male.”
i completely agree. women haven’t had time to evolve to value erudite intellectual ability. they respond well to social intelligence which includes dominance displays, senses of humor and what-not, but outright intellectualism, women do not like. it makes them feel inferior plus men that are “nerdy” in this way have low levels of T and their other social skills suffer accordingly.
that is what is so interesting about today’s world. technology has advanced so quickly that one area of our brains can’t keep up with another; that incongruence keeps our hearts from keeping up with either.
my mind is reeling now thinking as i type….technology builds upon itself from a mass division of labor and expertise. also, experiments are much more quickly conducted and revised than the experiments that arise from genetic mutation leading to evolution.
how in the world can we humans use the past a model for future behavior? it can’t be done, and that is our modern curse.
“over 30% of New Yorkers are on some welfare program.”
Hurry tell Lady Raine that New York, that paragon of gov’t efficiency, can take care of 30% of the population on only “1% to 2%” of gov’t spending.
You don’t need to have a PhD in finance, to see those numbers can’t work.
I’ve long said on here that I’m not so worried about lower betas on down getting laid much or even getting a wife/reproducing. I see the upsides to that in fact. (Except for that subset of lower betas that are really brainy. All of the really brainy out to reproduce, almost, in this techno civilization.)
It’s the higher betas in particular that we need to keep motivated, and yes betas too, again especially the brainy ones, as opposed the the simply dull, unambitious, middle of the roaders, i.e. the Dilberts.
If the bottom 20-40% of males in attractiveness to females don’t reproduce, so long as all or virtually all with IQ’s over 130 among them do, then that would be fine.
However we also should do all we can to discourage females from reproducing with low IQ, high T thugs.
Culture (mediated partly through religion) has worked to tilt women towards reproducing with the more successful in the past, which crudely does this selecting I’m calling for.
Affirmative Action for women is accordingly a terrible thing from the point of view of evolutionarily beneficial reproduction as well, since it leads to de-emphasizing male success (unless it’s enormous) and over emphasizing male T levels (which if uncombined with enough intelligence are a negative for civilization).
“Furthermore animals like the Lion, for example are part of nature and the female Lion does ALL of the hunting AND the protecting of the Pride. The male lion literally does nothing except eat the food and sleep.”
Now THAT’S an Alpha. The Skittles Man of the animal kingdom.
Bravo male lions. Bravo!

I’m thinking more along the lines of cultures where bars don’t/didn’t exist. And forget “village girls” who were/are married off by 20 and kept on lockdown til then.
Anyway, the point is — there is a trade off for everything.
Divorce/alimony/child support is a trade off for a sexually permissive, non-segregated society.
Family oriented life long marriage societies have to trade in freedom and variety.
That’s just the way it is. So far I’ve not seen evidence that we can have both, though I think that’s an ideal to aim form. Whether or not it’s attainable is another matter.
Obsidian writes:
“and because the GOP hasn’t shown any interest in trying to get the Black Vote. ”
This is a damned lie and you are beginning to lose all credibility with me. What you mean to say here is that the Republicans have, to only a 95% degree, prostituted themselves before the black grievance political machine rather than the full 100% like the Democrats. Reagan signed into law MLK day. Bush and the Republican establishment approved of the 2003 Grutter v. Bollinger decision upholding affirmative action. Bush frontlined the unqualified Powell and Rice in his cabinet. The Republicans put the unqualified Steele at the head of the party. Republicans are totally silent and would label as racist any mention of the real reasons for the black/white crime gap, education gap, home ownership gap, wealth gap, prison population gap. The Republicans have never come close to making a principled stand against the disgusting racial spoils system that exists at every level of our society.
Get your facts right.
Apparently you have to have a PhD to understand that percentage. I never SAID “general government spending”. There is a difference. Those percentages are based on what we as taxpayers actually PAY into those programs.
Otherwise, who the hell cares how much the government spends as long as most isn’t your tax money?
Lady Raine–
That’s true in some pre state level societies around the world but not in most, especially not when looking back to pre history, best we can determine.
Further, in all or virtually all societies that developed high civilizations as indicated by buildings, large cities, literacy in the native tongue, technological sophistication, and so on, it looks like the precursor societies were ones where men did the majority of the resource provisioning, as is usual around the world. (Save in parts of Africa and New Guinea and a few other places.)
White Girl/Aunti-Cougar–
Do away with alimony and greatly reduce the level of child support, and divorce rates would drop greatly.
Propagandizing again against single motherhood, as would clearly be in the best long term interests of children (with a few tough transition years perhaps, though not as tough as many might suppose in part because it would take a while to take hold) would have a strongly dampening effect on the creating of single motherhood as well, both the never married type, and then divorce for less than compelling reasons ones as well.
I’m very pleased that someone has finally broached the question, thank you Doug:
Should we have a kind of Affirmative Action for Geeky High IQ White, Asian and Indian guys, so that at the very least they can get regularly laid, if not get married?
Given their importance to our information based, silicon chip-driven society, is this a good course of action to go? And if so, how would we bring that about?
Would we pay attractive (proxy for fertility and birthing fitness) Women considerable sums to sex and/or marry these Men? Could there be socials arranged for them? How? What other ways could we attract willing, attractive Women now, to do the deed?
For the Ladies reading along: tell the truth. Would you be down for any of this, and if so/not, why?
Comments?
The Obsidian
Obsidian,
Blacks vote from Democrats because they want that last 5% that says openly that America is racist, that blacks are treated unfairly and that whites are to blame and the Democrats give it to them.
I’m starting to wonder how Roissy finds all the time to pump out the quality posts on such a regular basis? This one is yet another prize this week.
The Democrats are no longer the old Democrat Party anyway. It’s been hijacked by a bunch of non-producer types who studied Saul Alinsky and other marxist radicals on how to take over a society and destroy it from within.
They are doing a fine job. The statistics suggests that by the end of Obama’s first year run, more than 50% of Americans will be on some sort of government dole.
At that point the Chicago Mob Machine leading the Democrat Party will be in position to lead its objective of turning all of America into proles, a nation of those on the take from those who make.
They hope to advance the process by legalizing up to 20 million illegal aliens, who don’t speak English, don’t have even the equivalent of a high school education and will vote religiously for the party of handouts until the die.
Thus the Republic will be destroyed from within.
Anon (I guess you are a gay man or a woman) –
Places like California or New York are characterized by VERY rich people and lots of poor people. Malibu mansions and South Central barrios (as illegal immigrants ethnically cleanse Black LA out to Riverside). The middle class is gone.
Now, SWPL yuppies, women, and gays find that sort of thing attractive. Look at San Francisco, the Gay-Women-Wealthy hangout, with no middle class jobs that tend to be concentrated on uncool things like manufacturing, resource extraction, and the like. Instead SF is a tourist/gay/wealthy enclave, with almost no children (far too expensive) and no “boring” but absolutely required middle class paths to prosperity.
Meanwhile, states like Utah, Idaho, to a lesser extent Texas and Tennessee (both having long-standing issues with Hispanic and Black poverty respectively dating back into the post-Civil War era) are experiencing solid middle class growth: manufacturing and resource extraction industries that pay solid middle class jobs, rather than nothing service jobs that are either broke Baristas (most of them) or a few Finance-masters of the universe. Real estate is also far cheaper there, allowing families to be formed.
Women LOVE the princess stories, and part of the princess stories is the division into peasant and royalty. Women HATE middle class striving, they find it boring, tedious, a “prison” and so on.
Judge — WHY would the pendulum swing back? In fact it cannot. We will never have all those White (or Black or Hispanic) kids that would have been born to ordinary Joes, who would have provided the solid middle class drudgery needed to create something great. Instead, we’re likely to slide into UK chavism, rapidly, and collapse within a generation. [Democrats are the Religious party and anti-Science: Gaia nonsense, Global Warming BS, anti-evolution/HBD.]
S — What happens when you run out of money, which eventually you do? A: the British National Party, or other right-leaning parties in Europe. THEY promise (most of them) a “White Nationalist Socialism” with declining pots of money divvied up by race. No Muslims, Africans, etc. allowed. Socialism only works as long as you can pay people off. Eventually that comes a cropper.
Canada’s and the UK’s socialized medicine is a nightmare. It’s rationed, which means only connected insiders (political big shots) get decent care, the rest is dystopian nightmare see the French language Quebec film “Barbarian Invasions” for a stunning depiction of this.
The problem is that two groups—blacks and Jews—overwhelming vote for the Democratic party, which largely DOES NOT support their views.
If I told you a constituency was made up of people, of whom 90% were churchgoing at least once a week and believed in God, 70% were against gay marriage, a majority were anti-abortion, had above-national percentages of their group in the military, pro-small business ventures but also had no problem shopping at Walmart and liked the stor, anti-busing, and believed in traditional family values, and school vouchers, you would say they were Republican, right? WRONG: I just decribed the black base of the Democratic party.
If I told you another constituency was pro-Israel, anti-palestinian, anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage, were a majority for fewer taxes, and made up a significant portion of the wealthy in thsi country, you would say Republican again, right? WRONG: Jewish base of the Democrats.
Both sides have long historical roots with their party, and yes, blacks seek the welfare and AA from the Dems, while Jews do support more government intervention, but , to a large part, their own party’s platform is AGAINST their views.
both sides would actually be better suited to Republicans, and perhaps moderate on their own issues.
Science is going to collapse. India, China, Brazil etc have a thin layer of educated elites on top of a mostly illiterate, impoverished, and low-IQ population. Without the deep-broad investment of most men into society, providing the feeders of guys like the Wright Brothers, or Farnsworth (invented TV) or Edison, and so on, technology falls apart. It becomes the Chinese Imperial model — a few brilliant Eunuchs invent stuff that goes nowhere because no one owns it and no family effort will push it forward. You get a society of Trabants (notoriously bad East German car, a lownmower with bigger wheels).
———————–
However, the “good” news is that widespread nuclear proliferation make nuking of cities through shipping containers, done mostly to create exile armies to overthrow various home regimes (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, etc) is a slam dunk. When that happens, it’s like the German hordes crossing the Rhine. The whole system collapses within years. International trade, shipping, movement of people. Everyone becomes a LOT poorer, welfare systems collapse, and you get outbreaks of chaos.
Already you see things collapsing: India can’t keep Pakistan from staging Bombay style raids at will or deter it with punishment, China suffers both Hui and Uighur Muslim separatism, and terrorism, with open riots in some of it’s cities. Iran is cracking apart as the patronage network breaks down and it’s ambitions to rule the Gulf increases. Regional dictators like Chavez and Morales have ambitions to be the rulers of other countries as well. Mexico faces a narco-terrorist takeover. Russia aims to reconquer the near-abroad.
Three Reasons Firepower doesn’t vote Republican:
Andrew & Lurker,
I don’t necessarily disagree w/either of your analyses of Black support for the Dems; but really, its irrelevant. The bottomline is that Black folk that the Dems better support their interests, than do the GOP, the end.
And let’s not get it twisted, the Dems aint the only party that has problems rightly representing its voting interests.

“That’s just the way it is. So far I’ve not seen evidence that we can have both, though I think that’s an ideal to aim form. Whether or not it’s attainable is another matter.”
I think we have both. It is called plural society. Within the culture there are the sexually permissive folks and the traditional types. Over 70% of children live in a home with both biological parents. Now of course that is because 29% of women have 55% of the kids according to the US census.
@ Andrew E – none of the people you cite are unqualified. Not one. Condi is a very talented individual and quite learned in foreign affairs. She actually studied under Madeline Albright’s father, speaks Russian fluently and is a classical pianist. Powell comes from a working class culture of the Carib which is entirely different from blacks in America. He worked his way through multiple administrations. The Man of Steele was an excellent Lt. Governor and almost overcome a huge Rat voting advantage to take the state’s top position.
What you’re reaching for I don’t know, but it ain’t the stars.
@ doug1
If the numbers we have seen are correct that 70% of divorce today is initiated by women, there is an obvious economic component attached. Some women actually live off nothing more than the “winnings” of divorce. After that, they get remarried and do it all over again.
On Bravo, they had that show, Housewives of NJ. The whole series has different women in different areas of the country and often the women are not married at all. In NJ, this one women had two children lived in a nice house in northern NJ (the winnings from a divorce) and was awaiting a divorce “settlement” where she would be able to pay her lawyer bills that were in the six figures.
This whore, who renamed herself Danielle turned out to have been a stripper, worked as an escort and had been arrested for extortion along with her drug dealing husband when she was in her early 20s. Other rumors from a book (written by her ex-husband no less) said she had been engaged more than 10 times and was a total slut.
If the book had not surfaced on the show, her actions would seem no different than many atypical divorced women today. One word: SCARY.

The reason is very simple. Not racism much anymore. Instead, race realism.
School systems most of all. Also in some more marginal situations, i.e. lower middle class or middle class neighborhoods (or if subsidized section 8 housing is involved in any class neighborhood) fear of crime.
Asians of the sort we mostly get in this country don’t hurt schools; if anything they help them. Lots of blacks or recent Hispanic immigrants esp. if illegals in classes, especially if/when an anti tracking ethos sets in as “racist”, most definitely does retard classroom learning levels for whites and Asians. This is widely understood and talked about elliptically. What’s usually talked about is how good the school district is. Also there’s the school violence and disruption issue, and animosities most likely coming more from black to white than the other way around these days. Parents seek to avoid all these things. Most if at all PC just want to talk about how good the school district is.
Few whites are bothered if a few blacks move in, particularly if it’s an upper middle class as opposed to a lower middle class neighborhood. It’s when the percentages start to get higher that the fear goes up particularly among parents, who then look to move.
Steve Sailer has written about this too. As have others of course.
Unless you are making more than 100k or so, you are probably getting a handout too, in that what you pay in taxes is much less than the benefits you receive over your lifetime (free precollege, national security, access to the legal system, a democracy). Only a few households really pay more than what they get back. Own a home? Well, you are getting a huge handout as well (and there are many more examples) So stop complaining or return the handouts to the government.
Or is it that you are complaining that some people are getting a larger handout than yours? Shut up and make more money, succesful people don’t worry about taxation of welfare, they simply don’t pay much in taxes. The truly rich get lots of their income in forms different than earnings. And you’ll never hear them complaining about these handouts. The real alphas game the system. Only the upper-middle class herbs get a large percent of their incomes taken away. Poor babies.
In sum, the generally white upper-middle class herbs are being robbed: by the poor alphas (including some minorities) who enjoy the handouts on one end, and by the true wealthy, succesful alphas on the other end, who just write the rules to squeeze the most out of the working herb.
@ Firepower – your depiction of Republicans seem somewhat on the fringe in your criticism. There are many more reasons not to vote Republican and I would suggest their inability to live up to their creed since the Contract with America in the mid 90s being front and center.
As such, libertarians are the best way to drag them along by threatening their very existence and scaring them into doing the right thing.
Most of them seem to think that doing an imitation of Democrat lite is sufficient.
anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage, were a majority for fewer taxes
Most Jews are pro choice, pro gay marriage, and are fine with higher taxes.
I’m not, but most are.
“Yes that gradual approach may work. One cell at a time. Or even replacing a brain cell neuron with an artificial piece, one “diode” at a time. Theoretically you could get to 100% replacement without the sentience, i.e. “you”, ever noticing. I guess the same could be true for going digital a little bit at a time, although there would be this awkward transition period where certain brain-operations were conducted in the old wetware, and certain activities conducted in the artifical computational material (i.e. computorium).”
That’s pretty much spot on. Obviously a simple dump of the brain structure into a virtual form would not suffice since, as stated, it would create a copy of the original, but would still leave the original entity alive and alert. The simplest solution seems to be the gradual replacement by artificial, more durable components, ones that don’t die after a few minutes without oxygen. If it would be done through blood-borne nanobots, properly programmed, the replacement could be carried out without the slightest awareness from the host.
Doug–
The only reason I referred to “early cultures” is because the original poster used the phrase “Biologically built to…”. It was just an analogy meaning that technically our biology comes in large part from the “early cultures” therefore his statement is wrong.
While it may be true of a lot of females in modern society, it’s not “biologically” anything like that.
@whiskey:
I’m not advocating socialism. Canada has a mixed economy. We have a large public sector, but most everything else is privatized. I do believe in privatization of certain industries, especially because I live in a city where ALL civic workers are on strike (garbage men, paramedics, ferry workers, etc.). These are public unions; they have a monopoly on the industry, and striking shouldn’t be allowed.
I keep on hearing “stories” about how our healthcare is a nightmare, but I had fallen seriously ill at one point and was only given the best and most expedient of treatment. Sure, that’s anecdotal, but so are all other accounts.
@Obsidian:
Re: a solution to women for high IQ guys. The majority of men I’ve dated were pursuing/had doctoral and other professional post-graduate degrees. I don’t think they have a dearth of women, especially after their ten or so years of schooling when they have high-income jobs. I don’t think having a high IQ is necessarily at odds with being attractive or having game.
RE: Women getting the vote
While technically this is true, the real problem is universal suffrage.
There never was a “gender” restriction to voting in the constitution.
It was a PROPERTY OWNER restriction…i.e. people who had a vested interest in maintaining freedom and limiting the government from getting involved in every aspect of their lives.
Women who inherited or bought their own properties can and did vote in many instances prior to “women’s suffrage.”
The real damage was done when men were given universal suffrage first…which eventually lead to women getting it…which eventually leads to our current FUBAR system.
@ mo – owning a home getting a huge handout. Bullshit. Many people pay upwards of five figures annually in property taxes for the right to own their home.
Real alphas may game the system but at their own peril.
You are just making excuses for the socialists and all the idiots like Obama that have never held a job producing anything in society. In fact I don’t think Obama even held a job for four years in his life.
And his wife worked at a hospital as an administrator having lost her law license. Still, she managed to “game the system” with her husband getting a salary raised to $300,000 after her husband got a seven figure earmark for the hospital that employed her.
Is Obama alpha because he gamed the system? No, he’s just another parasite in the Democrat way of doing things, The Chicago Way.
Since whiskey brought it up.
You got to love Edison. Before he invents anything truly astounding, he goes around looking for investors. As he is raising cash for his company that is supposed to invent stuff, he meets and older guy, pillar of the community type. Edison was like 24, I think. Anyway he ends up marrying the investor’s 16 year old daughter.
I’m guessing Edison was one very confident guy.
Whiskey,
I understand that you work either in or very close to the IT world. If you scan the thread and the Science thread, you’ll see my thoughts about HBD, the Right Enders, and the social implications of all that. I’d like to get your views on that, if you’re so inclined. Thanks.

SmartyJones,
Yes, Powell, Rice and Steele are not abject morons. They have intelligence and abilities. I don’t think that changes the fact that both Powell but especially Rice were lousy Secs. of State and were chosen as obvious PC ploys, as obvious attempts to WIN BLACK VOTES. And we all know how that Steele as head of the GOP thing worked out (is he still the party leader?).

Andrew E’s words – not mine. Why type, when one can cut n’ paste
Agreed. So many so, in fact – Pupu would turn me in.
They are expert at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. When Gingrich left – so left their moral compass. The liberal media crucified him merely for his name. Yet, the leftist media gives Queen Nancy a pass – for lying about CIA briefings. All forgotten now. pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Yes. There is currently no viable reason based in logic to vote for them.
As Mexicans take over blacks as the Chief Minority in Grievance, there shall be even less reason to
This just might be my favorite Roissy post ever. It has it all, the entire explanation.
We as taxpayers, PAY for women to make bad choices and have fatherless kids, feed their kids, and put roofs over the heads and pay for their education. Women are no longer ruined by fooling around with low-class, low-rent, trashy, crminal, tasteless, tacky men. Beta males and families have to pay taxes to subsize their behavior.
Anything you subsidize you get more of: always. Its a maxim of life.
We are only held aloft by our huge nuke arsenal and gigantic Navy/Airforce. If we did not have these, China, Japan, Russia, and Saudi Arabia would stop buying our Treasury Bonds and we’d have to cut the welfare, cut the military, stop paying for the useless humanities degrees and women would be forced to make wise choices or risk homelessness again, just like they have been throughout recorded history.
Andrew,
You make some very valid points. Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t both Rice and Powell support affirmative action?
And you’re right wrt Steele. Many both in and out of the GOP consider him to be a joke.
Personally, I think the GOP just needs to take the plunge and officially announce itself as the White Guys Party, and I’m being dead serious when I say that. Being wishy washy never got anybody anywhere or anything. At least that way they’re clear in their purpose and intent.

@whiskey
(In reference to Canada’s health care you said): It’s rationed, which means only connected insiders (political big shots) get decent care, the rest is dystopian nightmare see the French language Quebec film “Barbarian Invasions” for a stunning depiction of this.”
I’m not sure what you’re referring to by rationed. I’ve lived in several provinces and have only had fantastic health care and access to services. I did spend less than one night in a US hospital (Vegas, too much sun and drink) and it cost me over $3000 and the bed wasn’t even comfortable. Good thing I had out of country insurance.
Can you explain this in more detail? Thanks.
“…a mating system where 90% of men reproduce and are thus invested in the outcome of their society, and where women’s dangerously wild sexual and social impulses are partly constrained, has given us the pinnacle of civilization in the West and the East Asian lands…”
This is exactly correct.
The foundation of our civilization is the culturally and religiously enforced nuclear family. See this, for example:
http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/004725.html
Further, nuclear families are economic powerhouses. They “self-exploit” the labor power of parents and childred, and have been extraordinarily productive.
Also, breaking down the old, polygamous, extended family networks opened up a world based on contract, agreement, consent, freedom.
A very dark night is slowly descending.
It is interesting that Roissy is virtually the only person making these sorts of world-explanatory arguments.
aoefe–
No, I assure you, he can’t.
Whiskey makes a great deal of what he says up. Or he remembers someone else’s exaggeration somewhere, and then exaggerates that.
1. Married women tend to vote for the “right wing” parties at almost the same rate as their husbands.
2. Hunter/gatherer societies have/had the highest rate of male reproduction. They are relatively sexually egalitarian. It is actually certain types of agricultural society that are the worst.
@ Andrew E – still disagree with your premise although your criticism of Powell and Rice are worthy of discussion as it’s a mixed bag. But often these things are and only fully understood with time. There’s often quite a bit of context missing in SOS stagecraft.
Charging their hires as affirmative action PC choices remains meritless.
Would say that Madeline Albright was far worse than either of them. Unless you think “Dancing with Dictators” is an effective foreign policy action.
@ Firepower – your memory of the double standards concocted in our unfair media is dead balls on accurate. Gingrich was hounded as he was too effective and hated for taking what was thought to be a permanent Rat domain and making it somewhat accountable to the American people albeit short lived.
Pelosi is attempting even now to regain the upper hand from her witless lies against the CIA. Her ruse having her subjects make similar charges against the CIA is going to backfire. Badly. And I’m going to enjoy every second of it.
She has to pay for her treachery. The media will let her off but the CIA most certainly will not. Panetta has to set the record straight if for no other reason than to maintain the loyalty of his people.
@ Thee Obsidian
Steele is only starting in his role and I think he may yet be an effective communicator. He needs a couple of elections under his belt before being evaluated IMHO.
Condi for AA, as it is understood in the Rat party? I don’t think so. Now how many liberal SC judges actually make AA hires? Any?
Your comments about making the Republicans into an all white party must be a Rat dream. Do you dream in Rat?

aoefe – you’ve had fantastic care…yeah, you’ll be able to see a doctor for a cold, or the flu or any other type of condition that really only requires a prescription, and that will be “free.” That would certainly be “fantastic.”
But when it comes to tests like MRI’s, X-Rays, and other types of testing or procedures that require the latest technology and innovation, you will be put on a waiting list that can sometimes be over a year long wait.
Canadians always brag about their fantastic socialist health care system…until they need an MRI, or the latest procedure in hip or knee replacement, or eye surgery.
Than they either wait a long time as their condition progressively gets worse…or they cross the border.
@doug
“Whiskey makes a great deal of what he says up. Or he remembers someone else’s exaggeration somewhere, and then exaggerates that
Interesting…how much of that happens here anyway? And better question is what’s the point?
Oh and circular arguments are also common here…gets a teensy bit annoying. Just sayin…
In the Canadian Health Care system it is quite illegal to spend your own money on “extra” health care resources. When the system says No it means No.
In Canada, they simply do not provide nearly as many of all kinds of resources as in most of the US. All sorts of scanners(MRI, CT, etc.) are about 20% as common. Many Medical Specialists are limited to miniscule numbers. Patients are not told that anything is being rationed to them that is more available elsewhere but it is.
@dave in Hawaii
“But when it comes to tests like MRI’s, X-Rays, and other types of testing or procedures that require the latest technology and innovation, you will be put on a waiting list that can sometimes be over a year long wait.”
Also not my experience. Have had x-rays on the day required – piece of cake. Echo cardio-grams within 12 hours, have never needed an MRI but they’re available just not same day service. My admin assistant complained of headaches two weeks ago, she had an MRI booked the next day.
I don’t know who’s been spewing that bunk, but not true.
The solution to the Canadian Healthcare Problem (which is the image of it being “wonderful”) is to simply not allow Canadians to buy healthcare in the United States.
@Rum
There are private MRI clinics and they’re not outlawed. For patients that are considered high risk for problems the high tech solutions are readily available. Can anyone walk in off the street and ask for an MRI – nope. Are there waits? Yes and they’re priortized. Is there room for improvements – absolutely. Do we have fantastic health care? Yep.
She has already won. The issue is dead. It won’t backfire. It will succeed. It has succeeded.
Democrats never have to pay for anything. Bills are for the Little People.
Panetta would rather eat his own guts than bring actual political harm to her reputation…and power. He’ll talk a good game to Keith Olbermann or on The Daily Show. However, in private, he’ll give Nancy another footrub and a slap on the back.
When the blatant hypocrisy of the Speaker of the House has to be constantly thrust into the face of a stupid, degenerate public as a reminder – it’s over.
Ignorance has won
I know a woman who is a doctor in Canada. It takes 2 years to see a specialist. If you need chemotherapy…forget about it.
Again, the solution is not to allow Canadians to buy healthcare in the US.
Didn’t Liam Neesons wife die because the local hospital did not have a CAT scanner?
Ovid: Interesting video above with the HS cheerleaders. How hypocritical we are! HS girls can dance in sexually provocative ways, instilling such lust in those middle age teachers who would then lose their jobs and go to prison for fucking one of those of pure, virginal girls who need to protected from those sexual predators out there.
As for the stories about men Jamaica men fucking middle age women, I would not fuck a fat middle aged women if you paid me. Jerking off to hot porn is more appealing.
I find the notion of female selectivity throughout history interesting since many if not most women throughout most of history, to the best of my knowledge, actually had their spouses chosen for them by their parents, usually with a dowry thrown in. I am not sure how selective that was on the female part.
When the comments here change from women, the difference between the sexes, PUA strategies, stories about beta and alpha males, etc., to political theorizing about the ills of society, it becomes boring. There are plenty of political blogs and magazines out there that deal with issues of race, welfare, ideology, etc.
I have been spending a little less time on here because these threads are becoming too boring and theorizing at times. Roissy himself is still great to read, but the comments are getting kind of dull sometimes. I am not saying they are useless or not thought out, they are often quite intellectually substantive, but I come here to read about the art of fucking hot women and the stories related to that, not political theory and history.
@Dave from Hawaii
But when it comes to tests like MRI’s, X-Rays, and other types of testing or procedures that require the latest technology and innovation, you will be put on a waiting list that can sometimes be over a year long wait.
Uh, not true. I needed an MRI last year for a non-urgent case. It only took three weeks to get one. I had a CT scan on the same day they suggested the MRI. When I needed a neurologist, they made an appointment almost immediately. I was seriously ill last year, and was admitted to emergency twice for the same condition. They referred to me as many people as I needed to be referred to and I’m 100% healthy today.
I also know for a fact that we have more stringent admissions for medical school. Many people who get rejected from Canadian med schools choose to go to the U.S. for their degree because it’s an easier and faster process.
aoefe – don’t take it from me…
@Truth(er)
My sister is a doctor in Canada. It does NOT take two years to see a specialist. Refer to my above comment. If you live in a small, Northern town it might be the case you don’t have the resources in your area, but that’s the case for rural areas across the board.
Firepower,
Why, thank you for such a fine compliment. Coming from you, it means a lot.
I have never blamed anyone for my problems in this life. Never took a Welfare dollah. Always worked for everything I had. My question was dead serious, and part of the reason why I put it that way was because White guys need to get a pair for once. That’s why you keep losing, because you won’t stand for something, anything.
I’m just sayin.

@Dave from Hawaii
It’s a priority basis. If you go to the emergency and want to be tested to see if you have swine flu, sure, it’s a four-hour wait. If you’re suffering from a life-threatening episode such as a heart attack, there’s no wait.
“Should we have a kind of Affirmative Action for Geeky High IQ White, Asian and Indian guys, so that at the very least they can get regularly laid, if not get married?”
@Obsidian –
And also to respond to your earlier questions re: Chuck.
I don’t see that happening, but the solution is simpler: restore monogamy legally and culturally. If you do that, women are *forced* to select mates on a different basis, and the betas who are really smart will get selected by some women for certain. The issue is that women all have access to the sexbot men. That is what needs to change. If you just instituted sex AA for smart betas, or paid women or so on, and didn’t have enforceable monogamy, all you’d be doing is setting these guys up for an expensive divorce.
All roads lead back to family in *all* of the issues between men and women. We can dance around that, but family law is the main event here.
First of, all talk about the level of satisfaction felt by a population with its healthcare system is critically dependent of their expectations. That Canadians are content with what they are given does not mean the average well off American would be. This indeed has political ramifications.
Second, Canada simple does not purchase things like scanners except in relatively small numbers. The number of scans done is controlled quite arbitrarily by this mechanism. The average patient has no idea whether he or she might benefit from one.
Private facilities in Canada are not private in the American sense.
S. – Three weeks?
Here in Hawaii, I could go to the doctors today and get an MRI done…today. I’ve done it.
When I needed eye surgery a few years ago, I had to wait about 3 days.
Aside from that, I’m quite sure there are different wait times in different areas of Canada.
Is it possible the proliferation of high tech equipment in the US is due to population and the ability to charge fees? Is it also possible US citizens are being told this high tech equipment is the only way health (or lack thereof) can be determined and being sold a bill of goods?
@Dave in Hawaii
Aside from that, I’m quite sure there are different wait times in different areas of Canada.
Rural Canada is not as well served as the more urban centres, however that must be similar in the US.
@Rum
I can agree with that, and I suppose it makes sense for what Dave in Hawaii is saying. I’m happy with the service I received, but it might be different for the average American. If you’re willing to pay for something in America, the quality of something is drastically improved. Not so much in Canada… we simply don’t have the same astronomical scale of wealth, but I’m fine with that.

“I know a woman who is a doctor in Canada. It takes 2 years to see a specialist. If you need chemotherapy…forget about it.”
I dated a doctor and my mom and sister are RN’s – that is baloney.
It is indeed harder to get into a Canadian Med School. That is because, duh!, the spots are tightly rationed compared to the US..
@S.
I’m fine with it too, very satisfied with what I’ve seen and experienced throughout Canada.
Gig, I just found this comment from you by chance:
“it will be Daivd Alexander and Virgin@40, dressed in black SS uniforms, invading homes to take to the gulags every men who has more girls than guys stored in his phone numbers AND people who have MJ albuns”
Just for you to take notice how the situation is even worst than you think, I kind of have TWICE the number of girls in my phone list than that of boys.
The problem is deeper and very entranched in our Western societies.
But again, I cannot demand for a Third Worlder living in a Third World country to understand it.
Especially a country in which the concept of “hot girl” is just a pair of open legs with the whole in the middle.
Please, don’t talk of what you don’t know about.
YET AGAIN, it was a rather nice ironic and funny statement from yours. I did enjoy it. But it also shows your ignorance.
Want to talk about “Beta Revolution”? Keep in mind, as Roissy has shown countless times, EUROPEAN SOCIETY IS BASED ON BETAS. It is no more.
AND EUROPEAN SOCIETY WAS ALSO BASED IN ALPHA GUYS WHO WERE SEEN AS HEROS AND WHO THE BETA MAJORITY WOULD TRY TO IMITATE OR LOOK UP AS ROLE MODELS.
WE HAVE NO ROLE MODELS OF THE LIKE.
You have no idea of what you’re talking about at a social level. You may be good with girls (although I doubt you’re getting quality girls) but in yours neighborhood, who wouldn’t?
In social matters, as “beta revolution” you have no idea what you’re talking about, man.
P.S. – Am not particularily patriotic, this is not about me needing to brag about Canada.
I am now very curious to know if we’re dying in droves here in Canada. Does anyone have death rates? Is our average life expectancy significantly different? Perhaps we just get shot less and that’s why we survive at the same rate.

From the government,,

This is a reminder that since January 1, 2009, many of the rules and procedures governing the activities of the Coalition, the Embassy, and our partner contractors and grantees (collectively referred to below as “contractors” for simplicity) have changed. USG contractors operating in Iraq are now subject to Iraqi civil and criminal law. Contractors’ residences and vehicles may be searched by Iraqi officials, pursuant to a court order, or under exigent circumstances. Contractors who violate Iraqi law may also be subject to the Iraqi criminal justice system, as the Government of Iraq has primary jurisdiction over offenses committed by USG contractors, even on bases and diplomatic properties. The U.S. Embassy thus urges contractors to respect and abide by Iraqi law.
Contractors should be aware that possession of illegal drugs (including cannabis, cannabis resin, and cocaine), possession of pornography, and solicitation of prostitution are punishable by imprisonment and may carry longer sentences under Iraqi law than under U.S. law. Distribution of illegal drugs may be punishable by life imprisonment or execution. Additionally, contractors may be arrested and prosecuted for carrying weapons without permits or in prohibited areas, such as the commercial side of Baghdad International Airport.
If a contractor is arrested by Iraqi law enforcement, we recommend that the company and the individual in question take several steps immediately.

Life expectancy in Canada is 80.34. In the U.S. it’s 78.06. The thing with U.S. healthcare is if you’re willing to pay, it’s excellent. If you can’t afford it, you don’t have any options.
“single women voted for Obama by a canyon-sized margin of 70%-29%.”
And the number for single white women? Because that’s the only number that matters.
Blacks and Asians and Indians and Middle Easterners will always vote for the Democrats. Their women, even more so.
You can only compare it fairly if you show the number of SINGLE WHITE WOMEN. Anyone has the data?

i agree with much about what you say regarding the value to society of marriage. I doubt that there will ever be any return to the earlier pattern, however unless it becomes a matter of physical survival for the elites.
How do guys forget the truth about female sexual hypergamy once it is openly displayed? It is an important subject to men, afterall. Consider that it had been carefully, deliberately hidden until the last 20 years or so – mainly by early marriages, womens dependency, and the cult of modesty.
Men were lied to by their elders who did not know better because these things were hidden from them. Now, all of that is broken.
Only reason this was probably recently put out is guess what someone has been arrested but for what.
You’ll never convince most Americans that socialized medicine is the way to go. Once we get through the health care reforms, that will likely be a state option on the list for the truly poor and uninsured, but everyone else will still have private insurance and better, faster care than the folks on the state option. Which is probably fine. But unless there’s a revolution in the United States, you’ll never see the entire health care system socialized.
Life Expectancy has a lot more to do with diet and lifestyle than healthcare.
Other than physical accidents or catching communicable diseases, if you are in need of health care for degenerative diseases, you are already in trouble because your diet is probably not good.
Just as feminism is pushed in the mainstream media as the key to creating utopia, so to is dietary propaganda pushed relentlessly, to make people think they’re eating healthy when they are not.
Contractors under iraqi justisdiction for civil and criminal law. Really takes some balls to stay here now.
Nova,
NO. There will be no “return” to Marriage/Family life as we know it, except only among the wealthy and connected. Everyone else will be atomized. And no, I mean hyperbole here. I am as serious as a heart attack.
The ONLY way we can return things to normal Nova, is if the Anglosphere adopts the culture it most loves to hate. Yes, that’s right, the Islamic culture-particularly the Taliban Route. Women would have to be persuaded to go back to the Beta Model, *BY THREAT OF FORCE*. And it has to be carried out, quite a bit, to make sure Women know we’re serious.
Because Women will not give up their gains. No matter how much you reason with them, talk to them, etc. Sure, some will here and there. But not enough to really make a difference societywide.
There would basically have to be a Taliban-like assault like that which we see in Pakistan. And that’s not gonna happen for a number of reasons, but the most simplest reason?
Because White Males, of which the Anglo founding stock is still the most influential if not the most dominant, simply cannot bring itself to use violence, even if it means saving their way of life, against its wayward Women. From a historical, cultural, evolutionary and genetic standpoint, they/you/them find this abhorrent.
And so, you/them/they will try to plead, reason and so on w/your Women. It won’t work.
So, we’re stuck w/the system we have, Nova. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s the truth. We need to be focused on damage control, hence my very serious Affirmative Action program for Right Enders.

I agree. U.S. race politics is f’ed up. It was really jarring for me to see the stark racial-class divide in places like Atlanta., Newark, and D.C.
My cousins from Canada are still surprised that black people lead such separate lives from white people. Mind you, they grew up the suburbs of Montreal and Ottawa where they had no choice but to hang around white kids since they grew in white areas. Still to this day, I’ve always felt “freer” and more comfortable in Canada.
Without it, civilization dies. More an more men are abandoning civilization, DA is just the vanguard, or the pope of that movement.
Except I’m not abandoning civilization. I’m not living in a cave writing up a manifesto about how the world should crumble, but I’ve simply opted out of the difficult world of sexual relationships of women. Otherwise, I still go to work and attempt to help my mother and younger brother…
i can’t believe i’m taking this troll bait
My previous comments in this post were not intended to be troll bait. I seriously wished that I knew that McGill and Concordia were basically cheap schools that I could have attended for a fraction of their American counterparts even as a foreigner.
CEGEPs only exist in Quebec. We don’t have an equivalent of it in Ontario.
Other than the vocational degrees which are offered at “colleges” in the rest of Canada, as you stated, CEGEPs are a Quebecois institution. CEGEPs are something I’d like to see implemented in the United States by abolishing the last year of high school and replacing it with community college.
BTW, are you a Quebec native or from Ontario?
Note that NYC had a private and profit-making subway in the past, but somehow, with subways jammed to overflowing and prices jacked up, the subways more inefficient, less advanced, and worse than at the time they were private.
Nearly every public transport system in the country at some point was profitable, but competition from government subsidized motor transport basically ensured that these systems would lose money. In the New York case, the subways were essentially built as a public-private partnership where the government basically bankrolled the capital costs for construction, and the private firms made the profits via operation. While this worked at first, fares were fixed to 5 cents per ride which ate away at profits via inflation, and the city basically refused to allow fare rates to rise over a 30 year period which ended up bankrupting the private firms. The final straw was when a former private subway employee ended up becoming mayor and used public funds to operate and construct a competing subway system that in some areas duplicated the routes of private operators on purpose to drive them out of business. Once under full municipal control, the system stagnated due to a lack of capital funds for expansion with most public works money going to the burgeoning highway system under Robert Moses, and a de facto decision by management that their ridership base was those were “forced” to use it.*
IIRC, the New York City Transit Authority isn’t over staffed per se on its operating side, and it has the highest farebox recovery rate of any transit system in the country, but the management side (especially at MTA headquarters) in contrast seems to be stuffed with people who are “owed” favours and such. Then there are the commuter railroads which have very generous union contracts and higher pay than the subway…
@Dave in Hawaii
The article you posted references quite a few senior citizen procedures (knees, cataracts). I’m not at all in the position to know if this is problamatic or not, my mom hasn’t aged to the point of having bad experiences. I’m glad to hear that by 2010 they plan to reduce those wait significantly.
””””””’even on bases and diplomatic properties. The U.S. Embassy thus urges contractors to respect and abide by Iraqi law.”””””””””””””
Last time I checked not many americans where well versed in iraqi law.
Medical Care per se has little influence on longevity. Preventing contagious disease (draining swamps, etc.) and lifestyle does.
All healthcare is rationed one way or the other and it always will be. The question is, how do you feel and how do you act when someone tells you that you cannot spend your own money to get what would be the best healthcare result?
And people in the US without health insurance actually do get treated, they just do not pay. It is against the law to refuse care to an acutely sick person.
Nova,
This brings up another issue. Forgive me for jumping around. I’ve assumed that you were somewhat conservative/libertarian. You’re a proponent of societal protection but minimal government intrusion into personal lives.
But help put this together for me.
Social and legal restoration of monogamy is the greatest form of government intrusion. It dictates our entire lives. On the one hand, you don’t want government meddling in health care or tax collection, but you’ll allow intrusion into people’s ability to seek who they want to spend their time with. Like all forms of government intervention, this has unintended consequences. One of those unintended consequences is high rates of adultery. Another is high divorce rates, and possibly higher suicide rates and higher levels of unhappiness in men.
The heart of my question is this: why is it okay to advocate against government intrusion in so many facets of life but okay to meddle in marriage via laws and government incentive?
This is why I’m a pessimist on the future of humanity. We are social animals, but social engineering cannot work. There are too many variables at play.
Of course, you gotta pretty big problem with this theory that white women are flocking to big daddy beta provider government: White women have shifted towards the Republican party over this time period. The chart shows this.
Looking at the chart, white women went from 55-60% Dem in 1952 to 45-50% Dem in 2004.
White men just fell off by even more, going from 55-60% to 35-40%.
If the big daddy government beta theory were true, we’d see white women increase their Democratic voting over this period. At the very least, other effects swamp this effect.
Both white men and white women have shifted Republican; white men have shifted more. That’s all.
“So, we’re stuck w/the system we have, Nova. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s the truth. We need to be focused on damage control, hence my very serious Affirmative Action program for Right Enders. ”
i agree with that. i’m not confident that things will get better anytime soon. like an addiction, we have to hit bottom before we get better.
this leads to a sort of cultural darwinism. the culture that is able to induce its people to strike a golden balance between tame society (read: happy men), work, play, sex, reproduction will win out.
which culture currently has the best balance of all of those? you can’t argue muslim cultures because they will destroy themselves with religion.
aoefe – “I’m glad to hear that by 2010 they plan to reduce those wait significantly.”
You have great faith in your government.
Hey Roissy,
How the hell did your blog on turn into a discussion of Canadian vs. U.S. health care. Is this now the Oprah of blogs??? This shit is fucking boring.
I come here to read about fucking hot women and anything at least related to that, nothing else.

@Obsidian –
That won’t work either, and you know it. So the answer is: western civilization is finished. There is no realistic or workable way to motivate the men who society needs to motivate now that women are selecting mates in a maladaptive manner from the perspective of the overall society.
Let it burn. I’ll laugh as it burns. I know it impacts me, too, but at least I can laugh at the foolishness of it all — how we allowed the narcissism of our women to bring down the most powerful civilization the world has ever known. It is kind of humorous, when you think about it.

@Chuck –
“The heart of my question is this: why is it okay to advocate against government intrusion in so many facets of life but okay to meddle in marriage via laws and government incentive?
This is why I’m a pessimist on the future of humanity. We are social animals, but social engineering cannot work. There are too many variables at play.”
If that’s the case then we should abolish marriage and family law, too, because it’s all government intervention. No marriage, and hence no divorce, no child support and so on. Everything privately regulated.
Of course that’s a road to disaster. One must pick and choose. Some libertarians are extremists: let’s privatize the roads and so on. Others are more moderate. And others are realists.
To me, preserving the civilization is a primary goal of the state, to the extent that there are legitimate state goals. Human society has not come up with any model other than monogamous marriage by which social investment by men can be assured. To me, that trumps any kind of ideology about the role of the state, because the survival of the civilization is at stake. Feel free to consider that hypocritical — fine if you do, but I see things differently.
Kieth – the difference between white women and GOP vs. DNC is based on whether they are married or not.
Women who already have their providers via matrimony are more likely to vote GOP while single white women are almost as monolithic in their Democrat support as Blacks are.
Since Marriage 1.0 no longer exists (only in memory), and Marriage 2.0 is the only one legally available today, I think I will pass.
Actually, the government got more involved in the family exactly at the point monogamy started to slip away.
It doesn’t take government intrusion to make monogamy the norm — it takes government intrusion to destroy it.
For example, say a woman could leave her husband whenever she wanted, but she wouldn’t get any alimony or child support. Say she couldn’t get an ex-parte restraining order against a husband to remove him from the home, and she couldn’t kidnap the children with the support of police. And say social workers were all fired. How about removing enforced hiring equality and AA for women? How many women do you think would choose to ditch their husbands without all these government goodies? Maybe some, but very few.
To go back to a mainly monogamous culture all we’d have to do is remove the government from families. It would be easy and cheap. Unfortunately, people would start complaining about how reality intrudes on their “needs” and would start demanding the government get involved.
You see, claiming that monogamy is created by the government is all backward. It is quite explicitly government policy to make it easy for women to break their vows, and then profit from it!
why is it okay to advocate against government intrusion in so many facets of life but okay to meddle in marriage via laws and government incentive?
Conservatives, unlike libertarians, are not against government per se. BTW the answer to your question is that economic prosperity is not a zero sum game, while access to women is.
P.S. Modern liberal society is not neutral; it is a massive social engineering project. And it has changed how people now behave. Drastically.
social engineering cannot work.
Social engineering cannot remake people wholesale, but it can reinforce certain tendencies that people already have. And people already have tendencies towards lifelong exclusive pairbonding. They aren’t just a bunch of rutting weasels. So, you deincentivise bad behaviour, give nice guys more of a chance and don’t delude yourself that this will result in any utopia.

i hear ya. the wildecommenter stampede is outta my hands. next week i’m switching it up with some sexy posts. galactus willing, those won’t inspire another 800 comment race or healthcare thread.
Here are the Eleven-Strikes against Marriage 2.0:
1. No-Fault Divorce (i.e. unilateral divorce, with no recourse for other spouse)
2. No-Fault Alimony (i..e she cheats, he pays; the party breaking/violating the contract gets paid)
3. 66-75% of all divorces are filed by the wife (CDC data; Google it) – cha ching!
4. Presumed mother-custody in most state’s family courts (goodbye Daddy, hello ATM)
5. Presumed guilty until proven innocent DV laws (now widely used as the “opening chess move” of divorce – once the husband is removed from the primary residence he never comes back, and she gets the primary residence in the asset split; you have 27 minutes to leave the house after the initial phone call. Also known as the Federal VAWA Legislation).
6. Decriminalization of Adultery (you can run a brothel and still get primary custody of the kids, plus alimony!)
7. Lobbying by the National Organization for Women against Shared Parenting bills in many states. (NOW is no longer about equality, it’s now about a zero sum game for resources. Children are cash-cows, and NOW will be damned if they allow Shared Parenting to stop the cash-flow. Divorcees of the world unite!
8. Lifetime Alimony (One NJ Appellate Court recently upheld a lifetime alimony sentenced rendered for barely an 8-year marriage. Their argument was that now in these days of short-term marriages being the norm, 8 years was pretty long, and as such probably deserved to be treated as a long-term marriage. Brilliant!)
9. Fathers Are Optional Parents (States are enforcing payment-obligations by non-custodial parents with an iron fist, however they are completely ignoring the visitation-rights of NCP parents. If you are going to police one parents obligation to pay, why not police the other parents obligation to allow the Dad to see his kids?)
10. One Sided Alimony: Ok so ex-spouse B got used to a certain standard of living, so we will make ex-spouse A pay alimony. Fine. But how about the things ex-spouse A got used to? Shouldn’t we have some sort of reverse payment by ex-spouse B in the form of weekly cleaning, a hot meal 7 nights a week, and “romantic companionship” services? How come one spouse is on the hook to provide something that the other was used to during the marriage, and not vice versa?
11. Paternity Fraud (If you missed the 2 year window to catch that your kids aren’t really your kids, you are SOL in most states. What’s worse if your cheating wife divorces you, and you can bring the DNA tests to court, and you will still be forced to pay 18-23 years of child support for these kids who are some other guy’s spawn). In most fraud crimes, once the crime is proven, the guitly party gets punished. However in the topsy-turvey world of Family Courts, it is the innocent party that gets punished. No one to this date has ever been legally punished of perpetrating Paternity Fraud to this date. If you are going to be a fraudster, this is the best kind of fraud to pull off.
@David Alexander:
There’s a decent sized black minority in Montreal, but I think there are more Middle Eastern immigrants. Even so, where there are substantial black minorities, such as the maritimes, there’s not a charged divide. Especially in terms of class. When I went to Newark, all the Portuguese/white people were concentrated in the Ironbound district, or were working at the Rutgers satellite campus. Very contained.

WHERE PRETTY LIES PERISH…
Shouldn’t that include socialized healthcare…which is in fact another manifestation of the political gender gap you wrote about in the initial post?
welmer:
It doesn’t take government intrusion to make monogamy the norm — it takes government intrusion to destroy it.
this is exactly right. government intrusion is what has allowed women to walk away untroubled from marriage. a return to more natural norms would mean that women, and particularly mothers, pay a high price for infidelity and ditching their beta hubbies to scratch their bmx biker itch.
Here here for sexier posts! I’m in agreement that a Canadian Health Care discussion is boring – I didn’t start it but wanted to wade in to correct some misconceptions. Movin on…
One should also note that extremely patriarchal cultures, like those in Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan, are also really awful places to live. Virtual imprisonment of and total contempt for women are not a road to properity and freedom. The high respect for women in Germanic cultures used to be one in the plus column for Western Civilization. But now we have taken things way too far in our indulgence of the feminine. We humans always seem to like pushing things to the extreme.
A question–
could a couple draw up a contractual “covenant” marriage in which they agree to waive the right to no fault divorce and to have fault-only divorce option and that specifies liquidated damages for fault divorce paid by the covenant breaking spouse to the victim upon the marriage’s dissolution?
would such a contract be upheld? and if so–would any of you reconsider marriage if this was an option?

@ Dana –
Not unless it provided for buttplugs.
Ahem.
Serious response: not under current law in most states. That would be considered a pre-nup, and pre-nups are easily avoided (duress, fraud, unconscionability) and when are are enforced at all, are enforced about asset division. Things like alimony, custody, child support — that is, the main issues for most couples — are not enforced when they appear in pre-nups (sometimes a waiver of alimony may be, depending on the state).
@nova
“not unless it provided for buttplugs.”
Atta way!
I disagree, but plug away with your own ideas.
I just have to point out that you gentlemen like Welmer who want to force women to have to rely on their husbands and keep them from straying….
[editor: nobody's forcing them to do anything you dumb fucking cunt. go find the nearest dictionary (obviously nowhere in your cig-strewn shithovel) and look up the word "incentive". after you've done that, shoot yourself in the labia. a lobotomy would do you good.]
Why would you want that?! So you want the world to go back to women only being with you for financial security and lack of other options? That’s really sad in so many ways.
If you were confident in yourself you wouldn’t feel the need to maintain such a pathetic edge. It bothers you to know your woman is with you because she WANTS to be and not because she NEEDS to be?
If that’s your idea of love, then NO thank you.
@LR
Awwwwww you didn’t say butt plug! Be a sport huh.
“sometimes i wistfully long for the sorts of commenters that a guy like roosh used to get before he disabled his comments — funny, immature, smart-alecky haters quick with the zinger. life is too short for endless ponderous discussions of weighty matters.”
I tried to lighten things up.Dont disable comments here.Pleeeeeeeeease!
I come in all sizes.
“If that’s your idea of love, then NO thank you.”
@LR –
Ugh.
Every marriage has ups and downs. Times when you feel great and times when you feel like throwing in the towel, cheating or what have you.
What Welmer is saying is that the current law encourages women to walk when the marriage hits one of the low points instead of working it out. It really *is* that simple. The incentives are perverse. A woman can cheat on her husband, opt to divorce him, slap a TRO on him with a phone call and proceed to get house, kids, child alimony and maybe even spouse alimony to boot. That is an entirely perverse set of incentives — it really encourages women to walk when the going gets tough, rather than tough it out, and THAT is what has killed marriage.
nova, you do realize you’re talking to a woman who did PRECISELY that…
There’s a decent sized black minority in Montreal, but I think there are more Middle Eastern immigrants.
By American standards, Montreal and Toronto are basically devoid of black people. IIRC, both cities have black populations that hover in the 7% to 8% range that places with Seattle, Washington in terms of per capita black populations, and unlike the US, the bulk of Canada’s black population is foreign born or the children of immigrants.
IIRC, the majority of Montreal’s black community is formed of fellow Haitians…
When I went to Newark, all the Portuguese/white people were concentrated in the Ironbound district, or were working at the Rutgers satellite campus.
My niece lives in Newark, so I’m rather familiar with the city. Basically, the Brazilians and few white people left reside immediately next to downtown or in the Ironbound (which is isolated by train tracks) section as you stated, and Hispanics of both Central American and Caribbean orgins live in the northeastern sections of the city. My niece lives in that section and her mother chose it because it’s far safer than the rest of the majority black section of the city, and the rents were cheaper than in crummier neighbouring majority black towns. My niece’s father happens to live in what amounts to a very dangerous area in Newark that even my niece doesn’t like going to and waiting for a bus to take her home.
Despite being within the commuter range, I don’t foresee much gentrification in Newark primarily because the city has an awful stereotype of being crime ridden despite decreasing crime rates in recent years and the relatively safe areas I listed above. Plus, there are much closer areas to the urban core in Manhattan that are far better candidates.
I’m an Ontario native.
My only experience with Ontario is with Ottawa, but maybe I’ll change that next month…

No, but she walked when the going got tough, rather than toughing it out.
You could have saved yourself a lot of time and trouble by simply telling us to vote Republican and get the 19th Amendment repealed; then again, you’re also the epitome of a nice little excerpt from a Stephen King novel:
“Hardly ANYBODY ever finds out that their actions really, actually hurt other people! People don’t get better, they just get smarter. When you get smarter, you don’t stop pulling the wings off flies, you just think of better reasons for doing it.”
The incentives are perverse.
Even if you don’t get the child support and full custody*, I’d imagine that women would still flee since nobody really wants to put up and deal with the hard times in a marriage. Hell, I’d imagine some men would do so and flee for a better option.
*The fun part about shared custody is that you can dump the kids off with the husband and go ride the alpha cock carousel**. The kids see daddy, daddy sees the kids, and mommy gets the sex daddy couldn’t offer…
**Comes with free buttplug…
Aoefe/Doug — See Dave in Hawaii’s cites below. Health care with single payer is always rationed. ALWAYS. There’s a scandal in the UK press, about women denied mammograms, who died of breast cancer. [They were deemed "too young."] There was the story of the UK surgery patient who got up and cleaned her own ward it was so filthy, and the two men who denied dental care, pulled their own teeth or “fixed” them with superglue. Belmont Club at Pajamas Media has the gory details.
If anything, I undercount the severity. Mark Steyn at the Corner had a bit where Canadian women are being sent to the US for delivery of their babies because Canada is out of beds and obstetricians. ALL systems of single-payer, government run health care “feature”:
1. Rationing.
2. Decisions on care made by bureaucrats.
3. Some groups more connected than others get more, those without connections get less.
There’s a pool of money. It’s not limitless, it has finite boundaries. This means rationing ALWAYS. Obama when asked by a Doctor during his hour long infomercial if he would stick to the plan he’s offering the general public, for himself and his family flat out refused. What does that tell you?
Firepower — Rest assured the CIA bureaucrats who made life miserable for GWB will make life equally miserable for Pelosi and Obama. They’ll certainly hunker down and do nothing to stop an AQ attack, and then produce all sorts of memos, briefs, statements, and other things putting the blame squarely on Pelosi AND Obama. They were there before Obama, and will be there after him. Journalists depend on them for stories. They know where all the dirt is. The next attack belongs squarely to Dems/Pelosi/Obama.
Truther — You are quite correct with Natasha Richardson.
Private Insurance means most people who have middle class incomes can buy insurance to cover most of their needs. Poor and that means mostly Mexicans and Blacks get screwed. Public insurance means the White middle class gets screwed while politically connected big shots and PC/Multicultural patronage Blacks/Hispanics (in Europe Muslims) get first crack since they are the heart of the electoral spoils system. The BNP, very socialist, peeled off some White women to argue for a “White Nationalist Socialism” ala the National Health (excluding immigrants) and got elected to the European Parliament for the first time.

child alimony and maybe even spouse alimony to boot.
Aren’t these the same thing? You know, since nobody really knows how either is spent…
Hands roissy a million dollar solid platinum butplug to use on pupu
But plugging rum here he had the best so far.
Speaking of a “gender gap,” some people are starting to call the economy a “Mancession.”

Not only is Obama utterly pussywhipped when it comes to his wife…he’s a complete and total tool for the femi-nazi’s.
He IS the Mangina-in-Chief! Barack Obeta.
I am just doing a study for the blog showing the effect of lack of pussy on the brain and how it quickly leads to suicidal thought. I guess they where right that sex is right there as a basic nescessity of life.
But it is not like I am trying to plug legalizing prostitution in iraq or anything like that.
When I was home tapping and using my dick for a but plug. I had no thoughts of evil and was actually able to lay down and just relax for once. Also slept like the dude in that grassy field.
“No, but she walked when the going got tough, rather than toughing it out.”
@ Dave in Hawaii –
That’s true enough, although if he was hitting her, fair play. I fault her mate selection more than anything else.
Although I take great exception to a few of Ms. Summers points…especially this one:
More like, Our incoming president did what many pussywhipped, spineless, ball-less beta BOYS raised by single mothers with deadbeat alpha thug fathers do when confronted by a chorus of female complaint: He changed his plan.
Well dave all ya got to do to get into health care is memorize some stuff no thinking involved too easy.
“Even if you don’t get the child support and full custody*, I’d imagine that women would still flee since nobody really wants to put up and deal with the hard times in a marriage.”
@DA –
Nah. You’re vastly overestimating the willingness of most women to part with their kids like that. Any divorce lawyer or marital therapist will tell you that for women getting the kids is very, very important, not just for financial reasons, but also because they really do consider the kids “theirs” more than they are their father’s. It’s been pointed out time and again that shared custody would give women the freedom to pursue other things (sex, career, whatever), but NOW and most women want the kids … period. And if they weren’t guaranteed to get them, you’d see women buckling down in the hard times and working through things rather than bolting for new guy and getting paid by old guy to do it.
Pretty soon we will all be paid to work in health care and insert but plugs in each other and maybe even ivs and such with some drugs to take away the pain. 2 birds with one stone everyone in pain and everyone employed.
I agree, the male-dominated Taliban/AQ/Saudi model has not been a world beater. Being a wife and mother is the most important job in the world, it ought to be done by educated, independent, and highly motivated women. Not sex-slaves in a harem. For a few big men.
[There is a post at Belmont Club detailing wrt health care rationing for "quality of life" basically denying those over 40 much medical care. This is from a document prepared by Rahm Emmanuel and his brother, the Doctor (not Ari the Hollywood agent) for Obama's Health Care Task Force. So it's quite clear Obama intends to ration health care like he does energy.]
Women love rationing, they (until they get not hot) always get a better deal since young women form a core constituency for the modern, gender-race based spoils politics in the West. Older women of course are screwed, but every young woman is convinced she’ll never get old. Ever.
Back OT: This gender gap exists pretty much everywhere. Even in Iran it seems. It’s run by technology and changes in wealth (more of it). A lot of it is froth. I don’t see the legal system changing though. Women have enough power to block it.
And this is why I love Lady Raine. From the horse’s mouth so to speak.
Dave — Obama is a mangina, no doubt, but he’s also a Chicago spoils pol. Single women voted for him 70-29 and White Men voted for McCain a slight edge. So he’s out to reward the former and screw over the latter.
Problem is, the dumb-ass has a butt plug up his brain, and can’t figure out that patronage to women nationally gets him nothing but resentment by men in a mancession, and a lot of payback eventually. Since the “New Girl Order” of Kay Hymnowitz is based on frothy consumer spending propped up by male-oriented manufacturing or resource extraction. An economy of fashionistas is a joke. Also not self-sustaining.
@Dove
“Kieth – the difference between white women and GOP vs. DNC is based on whether they are married or not.”
The chart still shows white women overall trending Republican over time. So maybe the white married women are going crazy Republican and that makes up for the white single women who aren’t going Republican, but you can’t get around it: In the aggregate, white women have become more Republican.
My hypothesis: If we broke out single and married, we’d see a consistent gender gap, but single white men and single white women are less Republican than married white men and married white women. In fact, I’d guess both singles men and single women have trended less Republican over time, while married men and married wmen have trended more Republican.
Yea Keith I see exactly what your saying young poeple want no rules and to be free to go wild and older stable people want rules and structure for there kids to be safe in so they never get hurt.
Hasn’t social engineering been with humans for a while now? If not in the form of state laws, then in the form of religion or tradition/culture?

Most people, even the nerd, evn the betas, still end up getting married. Now are the intelligent betas marrying 9s and 10s? Probably not, but most people in modern U.S. society still manage to reproduce should they wish to. I don’t think theri s a fair way to distribute upper-echelon females, not the least because they are people with their own individual preferences, but also because they are a hot commodity, and many people would want them. Why, even in a strictly monogamous society, would a 9/10 end up with a beta nerd, unless he was very wealthy? And are there wealthy betas who couldn’t get or buy a 9/10 if they so desired?

“That is it aoefe i am coming home and you are getting it.”
Promises, promises.
Let’s just face it. This country is skunked. It won’t ever be what it once was.
Roissy is so right on. Even if you suck it all up, get married, have kids, support them all, and endure the wife and her infidelities, and the boring suburban neighbors, you may wind up with nothing, that is, no grandkids, no wife, and no money. All the the whim of the wife.
American marriage (for men) is for the certifiably insane.
Women vote so irresponsibly it is no surprise black men had the vote before white women.
BTW, saw Public Enemies tonight. Very well done movie. Great. A good line from the movie. When Johnny Depp starts to get sweet on that girl, his friend advises against it. “That’s what they invented prostitutes for.”
Also saw the Proposal. What a waste of a good concept. Stupid chick flick. Alfred Hitchcock could have made a great movie out of the plot. You know, something like “Sitka Psycho.” It has all the necessary elements. Two sociopaths using each other, big money, old girl friends, male authority figure problems, souring long time marriage, isolated island.
Even as a comedy it was lame but good in a way for social commentary. Bullock, the castrating bitch boss, says she hasn’t been with a man for 18 months to show how non-existent her social life is. I guess in NYC that says something about a woman’s chastity. Now, what should her beat upon male assistant have said when told this. My choices would have been for him to have said:
1. Me neither!
2. You said you weren’t married!
But, the Proposal is just a look at what the female thinks life should offer women. Just sick.
Chick flicks are really revolting. But, they offer a window into the mind of the female. Pretty bad, huh?
Keith:
This would be a good point if the Democratic and Republican parties had represented constant ideological positions through all these years. Yet, for many decades, the entire political mainstream has been shifting left almost uniformly in the direction of big provider government and progressivist social reengineering. (I say “almost” because there have been a few episodes of noticeable, but still mild and ultimately inconsequential reaction.) On most issues, yesterday’s center positions are today’s far right ones — the only significant exception I can think of is that the progressives have given up on crude economic paleo-socialism.
Thus, the shift of the white electorate towards Republicans doesn’t indicate any actual rightward shift in their outlook; it merely means that they’ve been drifting leftward somewhat more slowly than the political center. And the fact that white women have shifted towards Republicans less than men implies that they’ve indeed become, on average, more leftist than men.
Roissy you just need to get a thing that shifts posts over to the race thread automatically. Like if it has white black mexican asian then it auto shifts the comment over. Then you can expand upon that at later times as the need dictates.
Kind of like you could have it auto shift to the but plug thread.
Maybe someone could hook it up.
Anon — that is factually incorrect. See my blog for the breakdown, there has been according to the GSS, an increase in never-married men from 5% in 1974 (Ages 35-40) to 25% (Ages 35-40) … and that’s for White Men. Add in high levels of divorce, and the skyrocketing single motherhood (illegitimate, aka Lady Raine) rates across the West including the US, and it’s clear many men are not getting married, a significant portion of them, and we are into a post-Marriage, single motherhood society. For example, the White Illegitimacy rate was under 3% according to Juan Williams in his 2006 Father’s Day column in the WSJ, it is not over 40% for the White Working class and 20% for the White Middle Class (according to Charles Murray at American Entreprise Blog).
Women’s sexual freedom implies women will share the few hot men, buy with immigrant labor household help, and many men will be priced out of the market. Given that 80% of all women who ever lived reproduced but only 40% of men, that’s the standard for human sexual reproduction, implying both huge social instability (think about it) and genetic bottlenecks (think there also).

S,
Life expectancy in Canada is 80.34. In the U.S. it’s 78.06. The thing with U.S. healthcare is if you’re willing to pay, it’s excellent. If you can’t afford it, you don’t have any options.
Again, you fail to truly understand data (but in fairness, very few women are smart enough to analyze data).
In the US, 13% of the people are black, and another 14% are Hispanic.
White Americans have the same life expectancy as white Canadians. The same goes for Asian Americans vs. Asian Canadians. Period.
And no, it does not mean that white Americans are ‘racist’. Rather, it means that black Americans are obese, have poor diets, and are insufficiently aware of how to live a healthy lifestyle.

It’s not just the crime, but mainly the nuisance bahavior, loud thumping music, nasty looks, shitty attitude, utter lack of property upkeep if not outright property destruction, and shrill jabbering at all hours of the day and night.
I am going to repeat my oft-mention stand :
Anyone who thinks alimony is justified in this day and age is effectively admitting that women are INFERIOR, I repeat, INFERIOR to men. If women are equal, they do not deserve alimony. If they deserve alimony, they are inferior.
Any woman here care to lock horns with me on this? If you do, try to avoid your typical ‘anecdotes as proof’ strategy.
Now are the intelligent betas marrying 9s and 10s? Probably not, but most people in modern U.S. society still manage to reproduce should they wish to. I don’t think theri s a fair way to distribute upper-echelon females, not the least because they are people with their own individual preferences, but also because they are a hot commodity, and many people would want them. Why, even in a strictly monogamous society, would a 9/10 end up with a beta nerd, unless he was very wealthy? And are there wealthy betas who couldn’t get or buy a 9/10 if they so desired?
I suspect a large number of intelligent betas (though, granted, not the majority) would be happier with a smart 5 than an average intelligence 9 or 10. (Heck, even given equal intelligence I’d still tend to prefer the 5 to the 9 or 10, but I realize I’m an exception here.) But even they have serious problems finding mates. So this isn’t just about upper-echelon females conventionally defined. It’s about lots of average looks, fairly high intelligence females being socialized against building a lifelong relationship with the intelligent and long-term-oriented betas that are their natural partners, via an ideology elevating the “natural” gina tingle over all else.
(And at least as far as I’m concerned, most of those women aren’t worth gaming, because there is nothing worthwhile to “win”. Socialized differently, they’d be worth marrying even in today’s pathological legal climate, but as is? Forget it, they’re all investments with negative expected returns.)

And that type of freedom takes sacrifice and maybe a few posts he he he
The only way to reduce the child-support = spousal support Trojan Horse is :
1) Have a properly-done Pre-nup (with lawyers on both sides), that, among other things, mandate that you, in the event of divorce, resolve your financial division issues through mediation or a panel of friends/relatives from both sides. Avoid the court system at all costs, as even your lawyer is not on your side.
This at least decreases the chance of divorce (and hence decreases the chances you will face the child-support Trojan horse).
Furthermore, asking for a pre-nup is also a great way to establish that you will not be a wussy Beta in the marriage. If you are afraid to ask and don’t believe you can persuade her that it is mutually beneficial, then you are not ready for a 21st century marriage, my friend.
2) Marry a woman with an income similar to yours.
3) Failing point 2), establish a Trust or Family Limited Partnership in Nevada (where laws are favorable to this). Have your attorney be the administrator of the Trust, so that your name is not on the initial paperwork. Fund the trust with something small like $200. Then, have him resign as the administrator, and move your assets to that. Have your employer pay the FLP or Trust, instead of you directly (although I have yet to verify if corporate employers would agree to do this). Then have the FLP pay you a salary about 20-40% lower than your original salary, thus reducing *your* income.
Then, with *your* reduced income, buy long-term care insurance. That will ensure that if you need care in your old age, you will have a professional fully paid to do so, while also depleting your present assets (which are subject to divorce court).
Do not own the house in your name. Have your FLP own the house, so that it is in your mother’s name, but you are paying rent. Then, she cannot ‘take’ the house.
This helps you not only in divorce, but if someone sues you for something else too.
Again, none of this is 100% foolproof, but it would take a lot for an ex-wife to crack all this to get the maximum. Simply mentioning all this in passing will intimidate her into thinking you know much more than her about assets, trusts, courts, etc.
Deterrance is a powerful preserver of peace, as we learned in the Cold War.
4) Of course, never let your Game skills atrophy. This is also crucial to preventing divorce. Most important are : make sure you are in charge in spending decisions, and make sure she sees other women talking/flirting with you from time to time.
5) Make sure you get pictures of her naked, in your possession.
Put this multi-layer plan in place, and you should be safe in 21st-century America.
That’s because neighborhoods with too many blacks become unlivable. Try it sometime in Canada.
An idiot could spin that around and say that should break up all the black neighbourhoods in the United States and spinkle them around the country in small numbers.

As somebody who lived in a black neighbourhood for most of his life, your observations are somewhat accurate, but muted in the context of a (high) prole and middle class black neighbourhood with owner-occupied homes…
What may not have been clear in my comment is that I don’t begrudge blacks or anyone else living as they like… But absent endless white flight or some forms of voluntary segregation, whites are damned to constant disposession. Some call that ethnic cleansing.
I gave an intra-racial example recently of a redneck friend of mine who was pissed off about yuppies moving into his lower-prole white neighborhood in Tennessee and passing ordnances against working on cars.
Rednecks like shadetree mechanics, yuppies like pristine appearances. Mixing people who don’t like each other is stupid.
Vladmir — that’s an old observation. Women voted in droves for the “handsome” candidates JFK, and before that Harding. Who at the time, was considered the “modern” candidate in contrast to the ethnic machine-driven Democrats. This is why Democrats always pose around like JFK, because women fall for it predictably.
Willard — Not sure I get it wrt Lady Raine. But since she does not edit what she says, it’s pretty clear what’s on her mind and to me at least a lot of women are like her. Probably most women her age share most of her characteristics wrt attitudes/beliefs. She’s a useful check on what women actually think instead of the polite fictions they tout in public.
Obsidian:
“What I DO have a problem with, is seeing those who tout such things then turn around and hook THEIR peeps up, and please do not try to BS me about this.”
Knowing people has always been and always will be a big deal. Nothing is ever going to change that.
I suppose that one way to improve the possibility of a black man getting that “Hey, I heard about a job” phone call would be to perhaps become friends with some white people of similar interests. That is not exactly helped by the all black associations, the whites not really welcome clubs and not too well disguised anti-white haters who are apparently quite welcome amongst the majority of black Americans.
That is the way it is, like it or not; outside of work, the bulk of blacks and whites do not hang out and that is not going to change in the foreseeable future. Edge bleed excepted, of course.
Kind of reminds me of this article I read once where this black lady was complaining that she wasn’t making the big bucks because she spent all her time in the office while all the deals were being made on the golf course. Never occurred to her to take up golf and go where the deals are being made.

Thanks Roissy. I look forward to your next literary tour de force. I know I won’t be disappointed. As far as the commentators, as you said, witty, immature, sarcastic haters are the best to read, so long as they are saying something that has some kernel of truth which is related to what you write so well on, namely, the dynamics between the sexes. So a hopefully a few more commentators can sound bit more like Pope or Byron or even Roissy himself and less like Newton or David Hume or some herbus maximus who writes economic pieces for the NY Times.
would be happier with a smart 5 than an average intelligence 9 or 10
While he’d get along with the 5, he’d have better sex with the 10, thus the dilemma before many men. Do you go for sex or for the woman who tolerates your presence? In ideal world, one would simply be an alpha, get the hot sex with multiple women and keep platonic female friends for emotional support. Sadly, marriage forces us to pick one, and from my perspective, if you pick the 5, you’ll cheat on her galore with better looking women. If you pick the 10, you’ll be miserably outside of the sex, and you’ll be frustrated with your average children.
so this would lead one to believe that they ought not to get married and just continue banging 10s.
yah, i can hang with that…
ought not to get married
yeah, i didn’t think that sounded right

“Does Canadian health care provide subsidized buttplugs?”
Canadian health care ensures every Canadian has access to the best buttplugs taxpayer money can buy. They are not as technologically advanced as the US (i.e they’re not inserted mechanically) and the wait lists are high but they’re given to the folks who need them most first. Canadians may have to wait for up to four weeks to receive one but satisfaction surveys have shown they feel it’s worth it. Mental Health has reported reductions in seasonal depression (aka SAD) when this initiative was inserted…into policy.
Does canadian healthcare provide for money for hookers for cases of depression?
That’s right gunslinger. There were some PA lawyers on a WSJ thread last year that were speculating that if he had murdered her, he would have been better off.
“A woman is two-thirds womb. The other third is a network of nerves and sentimentality. To “emancipate” her, is to hand her over to the tender mercies of clerics, who have learned to “play” upon her emotionalism. “-Ragnar Redbeard

You hear stories but is that all there is to it I mean jesus man just when you thought it was bad. You realize it can be a living hell. They should just treat child support as welfare gov foots the bill.

Maybe that explains all those Hollywood productions in Vancouver- free and unlimited buttplugs. I bet Tom Cruise makes stealth trips to clinics in Saskatchewan all the time. Add “medical” marijuana and you may as well roll up the Hollywood sign and ship it north…
Well what kind of “health” care is that?
@maurice –
“I bet Tom Cruise makes stealth trips to clinics in Saskatchewan all the time”
Tom helped come up with the prototype actually. Through his Scientology practice he was given a mandate to make a difference in the world. He’s tried unsung hero but thought he’d go for unslung here in Canada. He volunteered to submit to random testing of his unit on himself so sure was he of his design. (ewwwww can’t go further than that—-just threw up a little bit in my mouth)

Grow together in mutual support. If that was what it was it would be unstoppable from what I always thought. It is sad really.
Wait a sec so that is how they took the guns away. Makes sense. Give everyone weed and the world becomes safer maybe.
“In grow together in mutual support” … is that what they are calling lifetime alimony these days?
Racer X:
Sex differences would not be so fine-tuned if women didn’t do most of the choosing when we actually evolved, which is mostly not in recorded history. Clearly men did some of the choosing too, or we wouldn’t have female tricks like exaggerated hourglass figure or big breasts even though that is not better for supplying milk. We would certainly not have female hypergamy, which is what we observe now and not merely some theoretical prediction, just by parents choosing spouses. Just like in most other species, females had most of the selectivity. If you think this is wrong and boring and irrelevant to game, please provide some references. The dowry is also not what you think but is best seen as advance inheritance to the bride, by no means to be confused with bride price, which is more common anyway.
Kudos to roissy for getting away from dating mumbo-jumbo and going into challenging Half Sigma-esque debates.
Has not roissy already asked whether technology creates a Beta society? Or, does a lo-tech society favour Alpha traits? Nowadays, almost anyone who’s born will make into adulthood and have a chance of transmitting their genes into the next generation hence Alpha genes will be diluted (or, in other words, you have to be outright O**** to not have your genes spread). In the ‘good old days’, few made it past infancy – you had to be tough and merciless to survive let alone thrive. If you wanted meat on the table you had to kill and carve the animal yourself so you wouldn’t give a hoot about animal rights. Today, many people either buy meat in quaint packages or go vegetarian whilst cuddling critters.
However, one big thing about the sexual revolution/devolution is birth control. Nowadays, women get to choose when and with whom they will have babies. Currently most women choose to get pregnant late in their fertility span to Betas. In the old times a great many rampaging men do what a lot of animals do – they killed the men, kill their offspring, raped the local women and made sure merciless uber-Alpha genes continued to the next generation. At the very least, a woman could expect to get married very young, have her first child quite young, and if she survived childbirth, she would get pregnant again and again. Hence high quality genes would be passed from generation to generation though the amount of free will (especially on the woman’s side) doesn’t inspire personal awe.
Undoubtably, if modern society collapsed and everyone had to become hunter/gatherers or bare subsistence farmers to have a chance of survvial (heck the Amish would seem hi-tech and well-off in comparison) then Alpha genes and real men would start to reappear. The big problem is that if you’re not one of the Alpha men then you’re life is going suck (if you live at all) and how many are confident to believe they’ll be one of the few who will have it good in an Alpha-favouring society?
within such a party of twelve, i stumble along into this family reunion on behalf of my grandfather. my family of four plus my younger sister’s husband secures a nearby “cabin.” the inhibitions of “family behavior” barely veil the fact that there are no girls here, at all. our extended roster dined at a ‘club’ tonight which seated a few “acceptable,” aged, pseudo-5s that were escorted by overtanned, unfashionable, long-ago sweethearts. they all met the tatted, sunstained, within-30-miles-of-birthplace mold; attempting to swoop them would damage the economy even further.
after four and a half days, i can’t take it anymore. i use a shyla stylez/nikki benz scene from my macbook harddrive to put out any proverbial fire. i blast my firehose into a tissue, wrap that into another nearby tissue, disguise it all within a paper towel, and toss it onto the far side of the empty double bed across the room (after all, this cabin is underpopulated). not twelve hours later, i look to dispose this ball of trash and am greeted by a disgusting new element: ants have infested my cumball ragtissue. there are at least two dozen ants feasting upon my jizzbomb without conclusive recluse. i tidied them up and pretended it all never happened, though i kept a watchful eye out near my reserve chewing gum stash (and other, similar places, for example).

Isn’t that pretty much what Section 8 housing is?
Wonderful way to redistribute the crime from the inner cities to suburbia…
and there’s this new MTV show out called “I Can’t Believe She’s Dating Him” that basically demonstrates all the stuff you’ve been writing about.
the premise is basically alpha guys and their cute, often nice/sweet girlfriends, and showing the alpha guys act alpha/bad boyish while their girlfriends get (or at least pretend to) upset at them for not paying attention to them, for flirting with other girls, etc.
now the tone of the show, as you’d expect, is basically like SWPL style mockery/sarcasm. it’s not surprising considering that the writers/producers of the show are most likely (like all TV/film writers/producers) the kind you’d find working at the Daily Show with Jon Stewart: hyper-literate liberal arts/humanities major, SWPL, wimpy, herb types.
so they use snarky narration and are constantly referring to the alpha guys as “douchebags.” and the show usually ends with the girl leaving the alphas, and you can tell with all the snarky narration that this is how the beta herb writers/producers of the show see it as a vindication of sorts. the “douchebag” alphas they relentlessly mock are supposed to be losers that lose their hot girls, who presumably are going to then hook up with beta herbs like themselves.
but the funny/sad thing about the whole thing is that everything in the show indicates exactly the opposite of what the beta writers/producers seem to desire/believe it to be. the cute and nice girlfriends are obviously attracted to the alphas/bad boys. hell, they even explicitly say that they love the whole dangerous bad boy thing, chasing after them, etc. they always feign anger and disgust when their alpha boyfriends are explicitly flirting with girls and getting attention from other girls, but it’s clear that this only makes them find their alpha BFs more attractive.
it’s an excellent show that elucidates all your concepts and principles very well.
all the alpha guys on the show are types you’ve discussed before: the peacock, the socially dominant jock, the tatooed wild guy, the lone wolf, etc.
it’s even better because it’s been developed by omega herb writers/producers who seem to have deluded themselves into thinking that all these hot girls end up hating alphas/bad boys and always end up leaving them for smart, hyper-literate, sarcastic SWPL herbs with media/writing jobs. they’re apparently unaware that they only get the ugly refuse of chicks, and if they ever manage to snag a cute girl, she’ll be the sloppy sow runoff that’s been pumped and dumped a gazillion times already.
Whiskey,
For someone who regularly trolls for middle-class white men/families, i’m baffeled that you do not support an NHS-type system.
Under the current system, middle-class Americans are burdened to death with everybody else’s healthcare costs (#1 cause of bankruptcy). Those without insurance pay inflated hospital fees to cover illegals. Those with insurance share the costs of the often upper-class, hypochondriac tard who wants an MRI – today!
And yes, healthcare “rationing” SHOULD happen. There is no reason for all of us to pay (through increased insurance premiums) for often ineffective, 10k a month cancer drugs for octogenarians or 1k a day to keep vegetables hooked up to machines. At the same time, our “private” healthcare system doesn’t think its worthwhile to help SWPL couples have a kid safely (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103270766).
Also, LOL at Canadian women crossing the border to give labor. American white womyns have higher infant morality rates than ANY Western European country see here (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/02/AR2007050201436.html) and here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_infant_mortality_rate).

The problem here is the unlimited franchise.
Not one of the problems discussed here couldn’t be solved by simply limiting the franchise to “net taxpayers” in lieu of the white landowners that comprised the original cenceptual voting base. i am aware that there would be some difficulty in determining who constitutes a net taxpayer, but we make these statutory determinations all the time without too much agonizing (ie, random age of consent laws)
with a franchise limited to tax contribution there is no issue over race, gener, creed, even age. if a black, white, man, woman or 14 year old manages to become a net taxpayer, they get the vote and more power to them.
the notion that people who have absolutely no stake in maintaining a limited government can vote to expand it ad infinitum is ludicrous on it’s face. it is EXACTLY like allowing the lions and the zebras to both vote on how much zebra to eat tonight.

[Willard Libby, on the "Beta of the Year Submissions" thread]
I am proud to take credit for creating the “she-[noun]” formation! I first did this when I wrote “she-lawyer” on this blog.
The English language kind of allows the feminization of a neutral noun by adding “-ess” (as in actress) or more quaintly, “-trix” as in “aviatrix” or “dominatrix,” to the end of the word. Alas, such a suffix is inadequate in exploiting the comical effect of feminizing an object that is normally understood to be masculine.
Hence my brilliant innovation, the prefix “she-”
@dana- i showed your post to my political scientist wife this morning, for what reason i don’t know, and she got a little bent out of shape. based on the well-known facts that (1) poor people vote less than rich or middle class people; income and education are the strongest determinants of voter turnout- and (2) most government transfers go to the middle class, and even the rich, not the very poor, who receive much less than the popular imagination holds. if you add up mortgage deductions, amortize police/safety/defense/local government, pile on those huge future social security payments, most taxpayers will receive more in benefits than they pay out over their lifetimes. only the super-rich, that pilloried 1% that controls 20% of the wealth, and some corporations, are net payers. so in effect, you’d go back to a plutocracy? this debate, politically and in theory, was settled 100 years ago.
also, poor people pay more taxes as a percent of their income, becase they earn wages that are easily withheld. rich people have earnings from investments, etc., which are taxed lighter or easily hid overseas. flat-taxes such as sales taxes also hit them harder.
the closest i’d ever want to go in this direction is a literacy test for voter registration. they used to exist in this country, mainly as a way for whites to keep poor blacks from voting in the south. but these days, with segregation not an issue, they could usefully be revived. the state provides a high-school edcuation and/or GED for free. citizenship and civic participation bring responsibilities as well as rights. there was actually a proposal i saw somewhere in some state, to the effect that drivers licenses could only be issued to kids with HS diplomas or GED. great idea – talk about an incentive.

It is certain that huge technological change, or devastating warfare, will radically alter our world. This is one reason I find the race talk to be a boring indulgence. Within a few decades genetic engineering and cyborg technology will make current racial divisions historic.
I am unable to grasp why people are unable to grasp that it is no longer possible to speculate about social trends. All bets are off. The world will change by technology or war – not feminism or monogamy.

maurice,
the problem is is that the US was not set up to have SO many people be so effected by government that their immediate enfranchisement mattered. a limited federal government of small scope that exists mostly to enforce rules against interpersonal violence and ensure private property rights doesnt REQUIRE many people voting in order to ensure a decent free life for those people.
democracy is overrated a la mencius moldbug. it’s actually largely irrelevant to our rights and prosperity. you could have any form of government and still have liberty and prosperity as long as it strictly enforced private property rights and had a stable and predictable rule of law.
the expansion of government into everyones lives attended the expansion of the franchise as more and more groups with no stake in limited government and free enterprise were allowed to vote their interests and be courted in blocs. i would abolish all those schemes that have caused our “middle” class to receive federal benefits.
its not about class and income–its about people having a stake in limited government and free market. no one who get’s a tax refund is really paying “income taxes” from what i understand. i could absolutely be wrong. this would leave out most people who aren’t in business, basically.
many many many women and female dominated
households in the US are “middle class”and higher but the women work in bureaucracries and non business.
think about whole tiers of “middle income” pink collar jobs that wouldn’t exist in SOME way without government–1st off obv, teachers then there are vast numbers of government workers in a million areas, social workers, court personnel, case workers on and on. how many women and female dominated house holds are net taxpayers under that definition? i bet you very few.
no government worker is a taxpayer. they are tax shufflers–tax money goes in, tax money comes out–no wealth is created.
the other big sector of female “work” is administering “benefits”, affirmative action and anti discrimination laws for companies. this is called human resources. while it is not a tax consuming activity–it’s existence as a tier of jobs rests on the existence of complex and arcane government schemes that i think most of us agree should cease to exist.
the main problem i’ve come up against is the military–while they are certainly paid by the government i think the nature of their role and service would probably entitle them to the vote–i would have to hash that out more.
For anyone who is interested, I’ve written a comprehensive post on Game, IQ, and human biodiversity.
Game and High-IQ
oh oh, lest i forget–the elderly
after SS and medicare sets in, no vote
until they allow means testing for entitlements no one who gets them can vote
oh goody sdtv, now the big mouthed groid can invade your comments section and tell all the white boys to give up because all their women prefer black guys
Good Morning people,
Well, I don’t do buttplugs, and I don’t find the kind of humor some find here to be my liking, so I won’t be writing like that; can’t please errbody.
But I don’t anyone who get down like that. To each his own.
Captain Napalm, again I don’t have any problem in the least w/how business is done in America. My problem again, is in how so many White folks aren’t willing to be honest about it-in fact, to the extent that any such “anti white” sentiment exists among Blacks, its the sneaky, underhanded and milquetoat way so many Whites do their ish. Just be a Man and simply say that you don’t wanna hire Blacks, period-its got nothing to do w/”kbeing qualified”, looking or sound “right”, etc. Its simply the factb that its yoour business, and you reserve the right to hire and fire for any reason you choose. Don’t be surprised how many Black folk will actually respect such a Man, or Woman. They’ll also despise and hate your hates, but they’ll respect you.
Having run a few businesses in my life, believe me, I know all about the importance of having qualified people. I also know the realities of what we call The Hookup-nepotism, and it is rampant in White Male America. Again, that’s cool, I have no problem with it, and actually it can have some benefits. But again, let’s be brutally honest here, and that’s why so many Black folk have an axe to grind against some Whites.
I learned that in business you can’t also be an ideologue-cant serve two masters. You either wanna maximize profits, or you wanna make a point and remain comfortable. And see, in the businesses I ran, if you don’t produce, you don’t eat. So I was very results-driven. And I did whatever it took to meet my sales or production goals because, simply put, I like to eat.
So I hired any and errbody who could do the job-and guess what, the people who were the biggest slackers? Yup, you guessed it, WHITE PEOPLE. The people who had the most hustle to make the sale, were guys off the corner slingin’ rock who wanted to go legit before they either got locked up or killed-and guess what, White customers LOVED EM, because these guys really wanted it. Like me.
So, on mo gin: I got no problem w/the idea of unqualified Black folks. I just don’t buy that err single White person you see on the job is to the teeth qualified, either. My own direct experience, so many times in so many different jobs, tells me otherwise.

why don’t you say “alpha” one more time, pal.
“Not only is Obama utterly pussywhipped when it comes to his wife…he’s a complete and total tool for the femi-nazi’s.
”
Of course he is – they voted for him, not out of altruism or “hope” but out of protecting their interests INSTEAD of those of men. Feminist groups are organized and ruthless, both of which their opposition is not, and this is why we find ourselves in the position we are in.
If I were president, feminist leaders would be dragged into jail and raped.
@dana,
by that definition, Dana, your eligible voters would be primarily low income, because that’s where the balk of personal violence is found.
what?
Pawning off black race hatred on whitey; how cute. Funny how everything which is grudgingly admitted is the fault of those damn crackas, while everything which is happily proclaimed is a 100% black only achievement.
There are lazy white people?!?!? OMGz! Call the press! This is a brand new revelation which Obsidian brings! And you hired them. Which would normally make it your fault, but I’m sure those damn underhanded crackas made you do it.
Telling that the notion of trying to become friends with whites with the same interests is a non-starter with you. Not even on the table, eh?
@obs,
your comment above re: black vrs. white in sales
you are comparing hustle (motivation) with qualification. My experience agrees with you in this realm: black prisoners fromt the city jail are admirable in smarts and hustle. They’re their primarily for hustling drugs. The white prisoners from the county jail are a soft pathetic lot. not sure what they’re jailed for but , it’s not drug related.
@obs,
what i’m saying is that the selected subgroup of black men with drug-running backgrounds are a ambitious smart group.
In contrast, the subgroup of black men choosen for the construction training site are an unmotivated group, who eventually drop out.
no one cares if inexperienced or inept blacks are hired, they care that the government FORCES businesses to hire them
if i own a biz and hire my retarded nephew to run it that’s MY choice because it’s MY business. if i own a business and i am forced to hire people i don’t want to hire and can’t even use the hiring qualifications *I* choose to because they are against the law that’s a different matter.
@maurice,
Let me we accept everything you state in your first paragraph above. Yet , it is also true that only 43% of US citizen pay any income tax at all, and that we are approaching the tipping point where we have more nonpayers than payers.
Arpagus,
You still owe us a blow-by-blow detailed account of your latest score. It is more useful to trace what goes WELL than to re-hash the decline of the West, however much we all love it.
Thanks a lot Vladimir.
50% of single white women vote for Obama. The number is incredibly high though but nothing like the +70% figure Roissy presented for all women.
This only say that women are too lose. They need a man to direct them. We should have known better.
Vladimir, you have no idea how hard I searched for those statistics. And let me say that I was surprised it was not more than half of the unmaried white women who voted for Obama.
I sat on the commuter train going home recently, and enjoyed a rare treat: sitting next to an attractive young woman. She started a conversation with me, and I quickly got the skinny on her: a Flyover naif, just done with graduate school, come to the big city to seek a more exciting life.
She was around 25, brainy and somewhat nerdy looking, blonde and lanky like a young Darryl Hannah. An 8, I’d say. Something about her, maybe her small-town naivetee, maybe her undiscovered inner slut, made me really wanna nail her.
(Note, I’m married so I wouldn’t actually try to close any kind of deal with her)
Her “undiscovered slut” is a quality I picked up on from conversation. She came across as a good girl, but only by custom. She didn’t conciously know this yet, but having moved to the Big City was the beginning of a long, exciting ride on the alpha cock-carousel.
She said how much she loves to travel (thanks, Roissy, for your many wise observations over time), and back in her flyover state she had a romance with an immigrant laborer bad-boy Slav.
So that’s the background I gleaned from our conversation. A nice girl, all in all, and may she ramain so despite the odds.
Anyway — this is where my reading of this blog bore one of its fruits. I ran thermonuclear game on her. Better game than I had in my single days, when I was a novice practitioner of the Crimson Arts.
Again, not to close any kind of a deal, but just for fun. And it really did feel good. Examples of what I did:
- when her arm pressed against mine early on, I did not “politely” shift out of her way. I let myself enjoy the touch of a strange young pretty girl.
- she started off talking “professional stuff” with me. her nascent career, plus what I do, which was prompted by the fact that at first I had some work stuff I was reading. I gently but firmly redirected the conversation along this trajectory:
(1) glossed over any talk about what I do by shifting the topic to what she does. You know, work is boring and I wanna maintain the mystery as to my person.
(2) I glided over what she does, a relatively professional line of work, with due interest but without lingering too long on this; the idea was to treat her like a silly little girl, not like a Professional Woman who must be Respected.
(3) I deftly moved the convo to personal topics regarding herself. Soon enough, got her talking about love, her ideas and ideals on love, her past disappointments in love, and how today is the begining of a new exciting life for her (keeping things positive).
- I did about 15% percent of the talking, mostly asking her leading questions or making sagely one-line comments on her revelations. My attitude was “talk to her pussy, not to her mind.”
- There was unmistakeable kino escalation. I let her press her arm against mine, at one point she pressed her hip toward the back of my nand. She touched my hand once durning the ride.
- I deployed one of my natural assets: the “nice eyes” girls always told me I have. Strong, smiling eye contact with an understated sensuousness. Her eyes were ligthing up when we looked at each other.
- toward the end of out chat (the train was almot at my station) she was on fire, blushing, looking at me, talking with that mix of shyness and excitement. My dick, at that point, was ready to burst out of my pants. There was precum seepage.
Anyway, a little rundown on Game for your enjoyment folks. And I realized two things:
My power over poon is huge. Scary-huge, frighteningly powerful, much more so since I said goodbye to singlehood.
My second realization, having just run “by the book” Game while consciously aware of what I’m doing:
Game is for Real
It is ending, and a lot faster than any want to admit. Male unemployment is north of 10% and rising. There is no huge pot of wealth to tax, there are only incomes, which for males are heading in the wrong direction. Even the most whipped of betas CAN’T pay when there is nothing coming in. Feeling stimulated yet? How many of you think those UAW workers are ever going to get jobs that paid anywhere near what they used to make? Governments can inflate their way out of debt, for a while by printing more colored paper, but the Chinese are unlikely to tolerate much of that.
So, Uncle Sugar is not going to be able to deliver the goodies much longer. What group gets shafted? Blacks, women, or union (government) workers? I’ll ignore the possibility of betas revolting, because that isn’t happening.
Too bad, kids. You trusted us boomers. Promises are cheap. Obama’s got your credit card, and it’s close to maxed. I don’t admire Roissy’s morals, but he’s correct. For any of you who are students of history, the parallel with Weimar Germany is a little too close for comfort. Unsustainable debt, loose morals, unemployment…

They is OPPRESSED.
I thank OneSTDV for his most recent blogpost that was prompted by my musings on Right Enders, IQ & Game, but I think he, as per usual, seems to have missed the point.
While what he says is true about Newton, Salk and others looking out for their “extended family”, ie Whites by way of their intellectual acumen and by essentially giving up some or all of their own reproductive fitness, he misses out on the key point, that A, we no longer live in a time when such sacrifices are sought *or appreciated*, and B, that the meaning of INDIVIDAL HAPPINESS has immense cache in our time. Simply put, the reason why PUA seminars, bootcamps and blogs like these are packed to the gills w/today’s Newtons, Salks and Watsons is becaue they too want to participate in the Poonfest that has been going on in the West for easily the past few decades now. If One’s theory is so legit, I invite him to give the same speech to a bunch of IT guys at the next bootcamp and report back the results of the overwhelming numbers of said guys willing to basically wind up like Dave Alex for the rest of their lives.
I’d love to see that post.
Lastly, I want to stress the fact that I do not have a particular axe to grind w/the basic premise of HBD; but rather, I do have serious axe to grind w/the motivations of some of its loudest cheerleaders. We need to be brutally clear-they are not dispassionate amatuer scientists, investigating the veracity of real differences between the races-these are people who wish to use HBD as a means to discredit those who they deem are unfairly vilifying them and their kind. Hence, the HBD movement isn’t scientific as much as it is political, they just don’t say as much outright. They need to put all their cards on the table, so people can take what they say, like any and everything else in life, with a grain of salt.

A few comments earlier I wrote: “She didn’t conciously know this yet, but having moved to the Big City was the beginning of a long, exciting ride on the alpha cock-carousel.”
I’d like to add that the exciting ride on the alpha cock carousel really amounts to a whole lot of pleasure and a whole lot of tears for the girl. Just listen to any girl whose heart had been broken by a bad-boy alpha talk about how much she ended up getting hurt by him.
Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam said it best back in 1989:
Though my contact with “Daryl Hannah” above was limited to my having seared a massive impression in the reptilian pars of her psyche, I neverthelless ruined her for the next five betas who will try to approach her with Suplication Game.
This is why, to save civilization, civilized men must learn Game. Own the reptile.
I understand your point fully. However, it relies upon an elegance of thought no longer valued in PC/AA government hiring.
Government is the current leader in hiring – it’s ranks swelling every day. The hirees, are not Mom, Apple Pie, God and country types.
They are the types you see behind the counter at the DMV.
Clinton was aided immeasurably by covert government types when he bombed an aspirin factory to Weapons of Mass Distraction himself away from dwindling public scrutiny of awesome, full-lipped Monica bjs.
Even American Blacks gave him a pass fo bombing tha MuthaLand
If HBD is “science” at all then the motivations of its proponents are irrelevant. In science, either something is true or it isn’t, regardless of whether the scientist has “bad” or “good” motives. If a scientist with “bad” motivations says something is true, then these results can be tested and proven or disproven by someone with different motivations. The results will speak for themselves regardless of the motives of the people testing them.
The role of the mass-media and the people who own and control it (Jews) needs to be mentioned. Jews obviously own and control the programming in at least 90+% of America’s mass-media, and thus they are the ones who have been filling the heads of America’s women with all of the poison mentioned here: the hyperconsumerist attitudes (“shop till ya drop!”), the constant lusting after bad-boys as is found on all of those female TV channels (Lifetime, Oxygen, etc), the desired ‘freedom’ from having to worry about family concerns or child-rearing, the faux egalitarianism for Blacks/Hispanics/one-eyed dwarf handicapped lesbians/etc, the wanting of a ‘worldly’ education and a ‘hip job’ in some soulless urban area where they live superficial lives of decadence and unconstrained sexuality, and so forth.
Again: it has been America’s Jewish community, the urban far-leftist Jews who own and control America’s
