ACTUALLY

If you bother to look into what the Biblical Israel was like before the advent of the Davidic Kingdom, it does kind of look like anarchy.

Kind of a tribal anarchy, I guess. But the Israelites had no king, and when God wanted to settle things among them He would raise up a Judge, like Samson or Gideon, and they'd deal with Israel's troubles. But not a king.

It was not a monarchy but it was hardly a democracy. Quite the contrary, it does have the feel of anarchy, but anarchy under the guidance of God Himself.

Like Anarcho-Theocracy. That's how Israel was ruled, until the Israelites begged God for a king.

This is something I have given a fair amount of thought to because it is something you can shove in the face of people who use the Bible to argue against monarchy. The thing is, yeah, do you want THIS, instead? This is arguably weirder and stranger, how Israel was ruled before the monarchy.

Why don't more people have as their goal the ultimate elimination of American politics?

Almost everybody bitches about American politics and how it's infected everything else. It ruins Europe and Asia and THEIR politics, it's destroyed art, it's ruined 4chan, it's ruined social media. Everybody whether they're left-wing or right-wing agrees that American politics are awful.

So, let's just kill American politics. If we've identified the problem it seems to me that the next step is to solve it.

We should basically be rooting for the annihilation of the entire US political process and the elimination of both the Democratic and the Republican political parties. Maybe even the end of the US government in its present form either. We can replace it with a nice dictatorship or monarchy. Then there'll be no more American politics and everybody can live in peace.

Nothing machiavelli recommends is even that bad, why do normies piss their pants over it?

I think I have decided I despise my political enemies enough to want war with them. I think my dislike of my foes has reached the level that I am willing to bring upon myself and others the devastation of war, out of a desire to see those foes and their own ambitions wiped from the world.

Why do Zoomers watch so many fucking videos? I cannot imagine wasting my time sitting at the computer for 30, 40, 60 minutes listening to some guy (who may not even be a real person) talk about this or that. There's way better things to do on the internet than watch some dumb video about Marxism or the Byzantine Empire or whatever. You might as well just get off the computer and read.

Are you gonna tell me you've never used "thoughever" in a sentence? You do realize it's a real word right?

I genuinely think less of people when I find out they are materialists and atheists.

I legitimately long for the downfall of the United States and the collapse of the entire modern global order.

I no longer believe the modern West can be fixed, and think that only the calamity of total downfall would allow for the opportunity to get at the root problems plauging it.

The West has not fallen but it needs to fall, I want it to fall.

I am prepared to accept this may make living harder for a lot of people. I just don't care.

Read A Long Dark Shadow. It will blow your mind...

I learned more about race relations in the United States from reading this book than I ever did in 13 years of public school.

Is everybody just scared?

Let's be realistic: the path to this new world we all want wouldn't be pretty. It would probably be horrifically bloody, and it would usher in the downfall of Western civilization as we know it. It would be a one-way ticket to hard times, and a new dark age would probably be upon us in the short term.

Does that just give everybody cold feet? Is no one willing to say "fuck it" and take the plunge into the maelstrom? Even if something beautiful awaits on the other side?

If you read that philosophy translated, you didn't read it in actuality. Learn German and try again. No excuses.
