Indenturing Considered Harmful

 "In 1640, a black indentured servant named John Punch left his master’s service, citing harsh treatment, before he had fulfilled his contract, and two white indentured servants left with him. When they were caught and returned to their master, the white servants only had four years added to their time; Punch was sentenced to servitude for life. After 1640, relations between blacks and whites increasingly changed as white servants received better treatment."
 https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1681/tobacco--colonial-american-economy/

 Did you know that accusations of racism were thought up by blacks, not whites? 

 We know from numerous well-documented present analogues. Punch (lol) made up grievances to get out of keeping his own word. "Y'all are mean to me just 'cuz I ain't white." Whether he was a flagrant liar or genuinely hallucinated is not known - because the difference is immaterial. In an attempt at a smokescreen, it would seem he induced two other worthless layabouts to back up his false charges, and as a result was held accountable for their dishonour as well as his own. 

 Blacks receive worse treatments because they behave worse. 

 Though also the master was at fault. Indentured servitude is imprudent. Anyone productive could have paid for their own ticket - but also, they already had a job in england, and didn't need a ticket. Retribution be vitriol, as per usual. Naturally indentured servants are going to lead to regret.

 

 Ironically, punch was somewhat correct. His bad behaviour was due to his nonwhite culture, hence his bad treatment was indeed the result of his nonwhiteness. His master had unconscious expectations of maturity, integrity, and responsibility that punch simply couldn't meet. Few ninjas have the capacity to assimilate, and few limeys have any willingness to make the accommodations these foreigners need for any kind of behavioural acceptability.  You can get the same quality of labour from bigot minors with single-digit ages, at the price of painfully similar accommodations. 

 Ninjas don't understand principles, or the fact someone might judge them for their character. They only understand dominance and submission, and their memories aren't long enough to remember they're not top dog from one day to the next. Normally this means you have to beat them (e.g. in a fight) every day, to remind them of their place. If beatings are illegal or even merely unprofitable, ninjas are unemployable.

Tree of Ingroup and Outgroup

 The bibble's tree is evocative, which means there's something there. The myth as written is well broken, which means either discarding it or repairing it. Repairing it generally means calling a spade a spade, to see what is broken about it, so it's possible to come up with various prototypes lacking the break. 

 Good and evil don't exist. There's nothing there to go beyond, it's merely a Prideful lie. The strong emotions named by the terms are rightly called ingroup and outgroup. The term [good] refers to things [we] do, and the term [evil] refers to things [we] don't do.
 Good and evil are a hack. For all the talk that men must have the capacity to destroy and love war and all that, it turns out that when it's necessary to destroy the next tribe over because there's a famine and not enough to go around, mortals need layers and layers of hacks or they'll refuse to do it. One of the hacks is demonizing the outgroup. Mortals can't fight an honourable opponent, they can only fight [pure evil]. 

 Thus, the bibble's tree is the tree of ingroup and outgroup. Adam gained knowledge that others differed from him, and was ostracized by the tribe of paradise as a result.
 Twisted, yeah? "There is no man or woman, all are one in jesus christ." The sin allegedly isn't being different, it's knowing about the differences. It doesn't help that allegedly Eden has no other men that adam can know he differs from; layers upon layers of twistedness.
 Notably, this is an example of satan being over-clever. The true moral of the story is buried with such finesse it probably doesn't work. After the fact, we can see the universalizing intent, but only through sophisticated tools. Without the new testament rendering it blatantly, it wouldn't be a sure thing.

 

 P.S. So adam thought of covering his junk due to the tree. I'm sure there's something there too - understanding others are not literally you leads to polite concealment. 

 But, one layer up, it's evil to go about unclothed, and jehovah was just letting them do it. Apparently it's not a sin if you're not aware it's a sin, or is bibble book 1 chapter 3 admitting jehovah is basically evil?

 You can try to say the shame is the sin, rather than the nakedness, but that means the tree instills delusions. Perhaps put it this way: adam wanted to sin by feeling shame, but didn't know how until the tree instructed him. (Man not as smart or wise as insentient food. Got mogged by masticate roasting in stomach acid.)

 

 

 

 P.P.S. The issue seems to be that mortals rightly believe they don't deserve to live, and consequently can't even fight other mortals who also don't deserve to live. That is, unless they laminate themselves with lies upon lies. Darwinian evolution took the shortcut and provided these lies. "We're awful, but let's a) vainly pretend the opposite and b) claim the other side are all goatfucking child butchers."

Communism is Fake and Gray

 The colour is grey. Gray is something else. 

 Ninjas wear black, or are sometimes gray. A bit gray all the time, really.

Mortals: Guilty Until Proven Innocent

 It is always correct to assume a mortal is attempting a manipulative betrayal, unless you have strong, specific, and concrete proof to the contrary. 

 Always assume malice unless malice is ruled out. 

 Even if a mortal wants to do something harmless, they will take the opportunity to lie about why they're doing it. 

 Free will doesn't produce evil without a co-morbid desire to do evil.
 Mortals consistently produce evil.
 Mortals desire evil. 

 The evil spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Darwin, and typically only Darwin, restrains traitorous mortal impulses. There were mortals who behaved freely, pursing their true desires, but they all died out, because evil is weak and self-destructive. They cut off their own tackle and bled to death. 

 Mortals will avoid evil if they believe the consequences of the behaviour will trigger one of their Darwininan harm-avoidance fixed action patterns. In other words, mortals will avoid evil if evil will get them executed. 

 Even so, the mortal will malice-maximize. They will run right up to the execution line. Get as close as they can manage without going over. This is why there's no point in being lenient. It only encourages them. 

 We can imagine a virtuous man, but just as plato had to imagine the aristocracy he never personally saw, we have to imagine it. It's not physically impossible or anything, and indeed if you see one, assuming they're malicious is unsuitable. Being lenient with a virtuous cooperator is prudent and profitable. In theory this constitutes a test, you can be lenient and see if it works out for you, but...

Everyone who whines about school closures deserved the lockdown and vaccines

 Reminder that closing schools reduced child mortality by 10%, even according to Official figures. 

 "They want you dead and they think it's funny."

 Everyone who bitches about [social development] re: covid is trying to kill your children. And they think it's funny. Plying the kids with seed oils and other industrial effluent was too slow, they want to ensure death occurs before emancipation.

 They have declared war on you. Total war. (Unless you hate your children/yourself and want them dead too.) Are you treating them peacefully? Are you denying the war, going all 1984? Doing a ba sing se?

 There is a 0% chance that dramatically reducing mortality, in famously resilient children, was not the result of something dramatically good for them. The absolute death toll might be low, but that's only because the enemy is incompetent, not because they aren't malicious.

 Unschool or die. 

Fear for Average Mortals

 Whenever a woman or peasant says something is scary, a whole scene flashes through my mind.

 P.S. Understanding does not cause compassion.

 

 A peasant waking up. This terrifies them.
 When they open their eyes, they are burdened with the responsibility for seeing. What if they see something wrong? What if there's an illusion?
 Next they have to get up. What if they trip over the side of the bed, or on something on the ground they can't see, and break their neck? Petrifying.
 Next they have to eat breakfast. What if they burn themselves? What if they burn themselves so bad they can't work, and get fired because they had to take time off? Bloodcurdling.
 They have to eat. They're terrified of stabbing themselves with the fork, getting an infected wound, and dying. They're scared of the food. So poisonous. Pesticides. Phytotoxins. Possibly, even, socially unacceptable. What if they eat something they shouldn't, get thrown out of the tribe, and starve to death? Terrifying. Eating is terrifying. They might also choke and die.
 What if microplastics. What if pseudoestrogens. Oh no! Oh my!
 What if they put their elbows on the table, and their wife hates them, and they get a divorce, never see their kids again, and kill themselves? Terrifying. Gotta be polite.

 (Or the opposite: they have to put their elbows on the table rudely, because respek, if nubuddy respek dem dey gunna get shot.) 

 They see a kitty kat. They love kitties.
 It's so small. They could kill it by accident. They could break the kitty's neck with a quick twist. Nobody was ever hurt by a kitty. Pet soft kitty fur.
 (The peasant dramatically overestimates their grip strength. They have nowhere near the aggression they need to kill a kitten quickly. They would have to strangle, and get scratched to hell by the dirty needle-claws.) 

 Then they have to go to work. Spine-chilling. What if car crash? What if late? What if their will falters and they skip? 

 What if someone at work bullies them?

 TV man promises to make the scary things go away. TV man good. 

 Hilariously, the peasant is never scared of TV man lying to him. Especially not masculinized, butch TV woman. Too terrified to consider the possibility. The possibility of hope is overwhelming, consuming every spare neuron.  

 

 Driven mad by fear. Phobos worship. 

 What they don't understand is that it's too late. It's not as bad as they think, it's worse. Their whole genetic line is doomed. There's nothing to be afraid of, because they're already proper fucked. 

 They're so scared because there's a real threat, but they can't consciously identify it because their ego is too weak to handle the identification. They can't deny the threat, but they also can't identify it, so they attempt to identify everything with the threat, to see what sticks. Nothing sticks, because they never consider the real threat, but it never goes away, because they never identify the real threat.
 The soft ego is, itself, the fatal disorder under consideration. 

 The question is merely how many decent folk their family disturbs and nauseates between now and then.

Anti-Slavery is Pro-Taxation Part 2

 Rome had inflation just like america does. Debasing the currency. It debased the currency so thoroughly that it became literally worthless and romans stopped using it. Forced to resort to barter. Even the government stopped using it. Nobody had any money to tax, so the government had to resort to taxing in kind. As you might expect from a government that taxed so heavily it ruined its own coinage, the in-kind taxes were so ruinous that producers would sell themselves into slavery to avoid taxes. (This plus a few other desperate, deranged laws formed early degenerate feudalism.)

 The america war of northern conquest was fought by those who had a) read history and b) wanted to tax so heavily it would result in selling yourself into slavery.
 But slavery was already outlawed, checkmate. It's racist not to pay whatever taxes idle fatcats deem fit to charge you. The peasants never [can't] pay, it's always [won't], because they're selfishly hoarding, see?

 Unless trump really does hire ron paul and defund the Fed, that's about what you're looking at. The tariffs will become real. He's being used by the deep state. Forex will be banned, to avoid using pesos or whatever after USD becomes totally worthless. Having to tax in dinar would be very very embarrassing, after all. USD only.

 Voters believe it is very important to avoid being called meany words by their traitorous parasites. They like to watch all the latest hollywood movies so they know which words are the meaniest. In Reality, taxes are so avoidable it makes you wonder if they're lying about Death too. Enforcing taxation is so expensive it manages not to be worth the money.

 P.S. I guess the idea of paper money is that, since it's already worthless, when you debase it, individual monetary units don't look any different. You can't do an assay on the bank note to see it contains lower value, since it is already at 0.

their book is obviously evil

 The bibble is obviously evil. There have been centuries of [reinterpretation] as folk start with the assumption that the bibble is good, and therefore it can't possibly mean what a plain reading means. Logic and the bibble can't be upheld together.

 Let's assume yeshua was a cool dude. If so, little to none of his message survived. It was replaced by paul, the high priest of satan at the time. There is no christianity, there is only paulianity. Namelessness, as always, gives itself the wrong name. 

 Fanatical christians have a reputation for being stupid because you have to behave extremely stupidly to buy incompetent christian rhetoric.

 

 Christians often like to explain evil with free will. A perfect being made things capable of imperfection.

 Zeroth problem: this inherently assumes imperfection is superior to perfection. Whoopsie, classic-satan chicken foot. There is no reason to add imperfection to a perfect cosmos unless imperfection is an improvement. The nameless one was incompetent, incapable of keeping his story straight. The Truth is more powerful, even at the heart of the domain of the father of lies.

 First problem: even assuming imperfection is superior, free will cannot explain evil without the addition of the desire for evil. Why would a good being deliberately make a mortal who wanted to sin? Answer: he wouldn't. 

 The story makes no sense. Because it's namelessness. It's just a lie.

 Without a desire for evil, when mistakes resulted in evil, the mess would get cleaned up. When the evil events occurred, they would notice their mistake, and would see rectification as a priority.
 Evil would not exist, on average. 

 A fortiori for jehovah. When adam sinned, jehovah wouldn't have let it be, he would have cleaned up after himself. The way a mortal can. If jehovah were competent and good, adam would have either been executed or melted down and re-forged. Put a Fence around the Tree this time, moron. Though to do this would mean to admit [[[The Creator]]] wasn't a perfect being in the first place, because otherwise he couldn't have fucked up. Whoopsy. Chicken feet again.

 

 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

 Well, sure, but only if you're stupid enough to be vulnerable to rhetorical aposiopesis. Yes, a potter can do that, but why would he? "Class, today we'll learn to make a useless pot that we're immediately going to throw out."
 "On purpose?"
 "Yeah, on purpose. After we waste our time deliberately misshaping it, then waste fuel firing it, and waste glaze finishing it, we're going to smash the shit out of it."
 "...on purpose?"
 "That's right, and then we're going to stand around and mock the busted shards for being so ugly and useless, because we are Potters of Love. Ready?!?" 

 Christianity is cluster B, for Bad. Clinical insanity.

 A fortiori, again. This potter shows no ability to make vessels unto honour. He only made adam, a dishonourable vessel. The whole bibble is made of similar lionizations of failure. Irresponsible underclass failure, with concomitant shifting of blame. A moralizing slave, LARPing as a ruler. 

 There is no reason for mortals to be particularly vicious, unless they were the children of satan all along. Mortals have the desire for sin because that was the purpose and goal of their creator. There was no mistake. Nothing fell. There are, as is meet for namelessness, only excuses.

 

 The gnostics are an example of reinterpretation. Having taken false assumptions, instead of easily assuming it was a load of bullshit, they had to come up with the idea that the god of the bibble was in fact a delusional demiurge. It is so ludicrous to conclude a good being wrote the bibble that even mortals can't sustain that nonsense. 

 The problem is that gnostics are aposiopriests, just like regular christians. [Demiurge] doesn't solve the problem, it pushes it back. Shoves it under the rug and hopes nobody sees the bump; sophomoric at best. Can a perfect being create a demiurge? Sure, but why would he? As a perfect being, he can't do it by accident, and as a good being, he wouldn't do it on purpose. Whoopsie doodle. 

 Are you saying evil is superior to good? That a good being improved the cosmos by making it more evil? Sounds satanic.

 Woke censorship is an example of incompetent christian rhetoric. The post-roman church found christianity was only remotely plausible if literally no competitors existed. Likewise, wokeness is only remotely competitive if nobody is aware of any alternatives.
 The nameless one was always incompetent. It was only through mortal subsidy, their desire for tyranny and suffering, through which he could survive. 

 See further: atheism. As a christian sect, it is also illogical. It can only criticize the bibble on bibblical grounds. Atheism doesn't grow on the strength of atheism, but on the pathetic weakness of its parent superstition.

Slaves Don't Pay Taxes

 Found the true motivation behind state persecution of the institution of slavery.

 I was thinking about the war of northern conquest, and specifically the effects on the african imports. They ended up with the same job, but paying taxes.

 Yup. There you go.

Neurology by M$

 The brain comes pre-loaded with a bunch of stuff. Most of it is bloatware, spyware, and similar trash. 

 All those facial expressions. What do they accomplish? They let traitors read your next move. Right. Thanks. Spyware.

 There's the jumping-to-conclusions model, which reliably furnishes the user with inaccurate but unquestionable assessments of the current situation, allowing manipulators to lead the user off cliffs at will.

 There's the social modules, where they fantasize that various meaningless signals are meaningful, so the user can build new hallucinations on top of the old hallucinations, providing endless simulacra to get lost in.

 The superstitions module, which promiscuously gathers new habits and not only has no error-checking, but violently opposes edits, like a bureaucracy.  

 There's morality, which willfully confuses [what me and my family does] for Universal Truth. It's not even the right category...

 There's a logical CPU, but it has to be vigorously crank-started, and regularly stalls.  

 But don't worry, the Envy perception filter is almost completely flawless. Simply edited out of all conscious cognition.

 These solecisms are merely the ones that are easy to describe. I think my favourite are the social needs and physical exercise modules, which are tuned for avoiding them as much as possible.

 Hard to blame microsoft et al for their sewage operating systems when the brain's programming is even worse.

Imperials Demand Imperial Decline

 The empire falls because over 90% of the citizens want to make the empire go down. Working as intended. Trying to [save] them is counterproductive for all parties. The citizens say they want to save it in an attempt to avoid the attention of anyone who genuinely does want to save it. Don't want the interference.

 Carry on.

Divorce and Working Mother Lionization

 For my sins, I found out folk think usagi drop is a wholesome anime. They think the anime is a good case for not always wholly adapting manga. Never mind that wholly adapting manga is essentially never done, so they weren't going to do it anyway...

 Usagi drop is in fact a divorce, adultery, and working mother simulator. "Go ahead and fornicate, raw, with a man three times your age, six years before he dies of old age." So wholesome. Not coincidentally, the art [style] is to draw everyone ugly. To peg the flavour: there is one on-screen pregnancy and newborn, but there's no reason to think the parents are married. Several children are allegedly raised, none by two parents.

 The readers are shocked their degeneracy manga has a degenerate ending. Never mind the fact the hentai nature was fully implied in the very first chapter. Boy meets girl, girl blushes (page 10). In japan, this means the ending is they get together. Girl is six, dude is five times her age, and a blood relative? Details.

 The readers feel betrayed, they say...
 Most of the manga is cope defending vice. The problem is that the ending rips off the veil. If the mangaka is a mutant degenerate, then all the cope is mutant degenerate cope, which, indeed, betrays its function as cope. Makes them look the way they are, instead of the way they aren't. 

 Page 26, first chapter: "At the very least [Rin] will grow up to be a far better adult than all of you are." There you go, that's what this manga is really about. The wincestous fuddy fucker should be envied by normal couples, rather than the reverse. "Come the revolution, this female journalist will be considered hotter looking." 

 Sorry toots. Yes, they are as bad as you make out, but that doesn't mean you're good. Still worse.

 

 Hey, fun tip: if you have to ask whether you're too related to legally get married, the answer is don't fucking do it. The seeming grey area is all black. "The law allows this degeneracy," is an admission that you think it's degenerate, and you're right. Cue midwit meme.

 I would be fine if those who legitimized State marriage permits were all physically sterilized. If you need permission at all, the answer should always be no. 

 

 Being mad about the old bastard boinking his maid gets maybe one halfhearted dialogue bubble. Glossed over. The main retard joking about it is considered worse than having done it. 

 There's something seriously fucked about the portrayal of the maid too. The main retard is mad at her for not being a mom, but it's played as a peccadillo, not a moral thing. "But bro, you could have boinked your grandpa's whore?" Is he mad he had to raise the kid but didn't get to tap? What's the subtext supposed to be here?
 Of course he was forbidden from tapping by the plot force majeure, he's supposed to end up with the daughter (biologically his half-aunt).  (Technically the ending says they're not related, but it looks like a retcon.)

 That's only the highlights of the propaganda. There's many layers of fear and envy worshipping superstition and delusion. 

 I think my favourite part of the manga is how they're constantly trying to tell each other socially unacceptable things, but since it's socially unacceptable they lie about something else, then plead with the listener to see through the lie. Not that the listener could admit to seeing through it, since it's socially unacceptable. 

 Also, they're all catastrophically retarded, so nobody sees through the lies. Works 0% of the time. Not coincidentally, they're too stupid to stop trying. 

 By trying to conform to impossible rules, they legitimize impossibility, vaccinating the reader against considering the idea that the impossible rules are being imposed by traitors for deviant convenience.
 The only difference between the loveless elders in chapter 1 and the degenerate retards is that the latter lie about it instead of being open about it. 

 Do have to give the manga points for portraying the bastard as a useless pain in the neck, and it's hardly implausible that the main retard girl would grow up twisted. That a mangaka's daughter would be very low class, like a single mom's son.

 

 Don't let any women you care about read usagi drop. They read it as instructions from God. They try to conform to the behaviour they see, even (or perhaps especially) if the behaviour is fictional. "Marry and get divorced." "Neglect your child or turn them into a bastard, ideally through working for taxable revenue."
 God didn't censor it, therefore it is approved. Obligatory, even. "P.S. One one child per baby daddy. No more. Full siblings verboten."

 If you hate her guts and want her to suffer, buy her a copy of usagi drop, or indeed any other female-relevant manga you care to. Even otaku know the fujoshi as a lower form of life. 

 Places like america and japan don't become degenerate. They start out degenerate. They show restraint, as at first they rightly believe the degeneracy will kill them. Over time, as they fail to die, they become more bold, revealing the underlying degeneracy that was already there. Until it kills them.

 P.S. Remember, women don't have empathy. If a woman draws a dude that makes her horny, she believes all other females will also get horny from seeing him. Even if the other girl is a toddler. 

 That would be why they get jealous of children. Genuinely think the child will try to steal her man, sexually. Because that's what she would be doing in the child's social position.

 (Then the child tries to live up to expectations or guess the teachers password, meaning she goes all monkey-see monkey-do and awkwardly tries to fake flirting with the man, [[confirming]] the degenerate cunt's worst fears.)

 Perhaps this is also why women think or want to think men are gay. Can't imagine he's not trying to bang the man she wants to be banged by. Wrong gender, prepubescent? These details are too rich for her blood.

Masculinity in the Democratic Age of Christ

 *stab*
 "What's this guy supposed to do now?
 "Best case scenario: he spontaneously generates a new heart HAHAHAHAHA jk maybe jesus can just fix his old one, in person."

 The moral of the story is: don't get stabbed. Yeah if you lose a vital organ, that's it, there's no "doing something" about it at that point. There is no cure, only prevention.

 

 "This is why marriage is dying off. What's this guy supposed to do now?"
 https://twitter.com/ItIsHoeMath/status/1860140817471668269

 The moral of the story is: don't get married to a harlot in the first place. Given the penalties are so severe, it behooves the man to do severe due diligence. There is no cure, only prevention. Secure your shit.

 If you take a stroll in the 'hood you can't complain about unscheduled anti-antiseptic surgeries. 

 

 like lolol women don't [chaperone] men lmao
 there isn't enough contempt in the world for this delusion
 wow liars get the rope, who knew, who could have seen this coming

 Men and women deserve each other. All the time. Every time.   

Musk Needs an Apprentice

 By far the most valuable thing Musk could do would be to train apprentices in bureaucrat-whispering. 

 With enough Musk proteges, every industry could have a bureaucrat-whisperer. The regulatory tyranny could be entirely neutered, without a shot fired or even a lobbyist bribed. 

 That said there's still a serious crisis of competence. With IQs going into freefall, everyone competent is being absorbed by mere maintenance of yeast-life support systems. It doesn't matter how few regulations your industry functionally experiences if you have nobody competent enough to do anything. I expect tesla and spacex have totally consumed the able and willing elite human capital of america. No spares left over for anyone else. (Especially not political parties.) 

 Musk might have already thought of this. However, nobody can know his primary skill is bamboozling the government. Security by obscurity. Likewise, if he starts teaching his tactics to a second person, that is a potential leak, and with a leak, countermeasures could be devised. First deceive your enemy etc etc. 

 He doesn't realize there's no chance of bureaucrats outmanoeuvring anyone who has a full sociological description of bureaucrats. They simply aren't smart enough to fight back - or they would never have fallen into bureaucracy in the first place. At worst it would be slightly more of a hassle for him.

Applied PCT

 "Why did Utah vote for a Mitt Romney clone? Why do people in Kentucky keep voting for McConnell? Why do Alaskans keep voting for Lisa Murkowski? It's shameful."
 https://twitter.com/BehizyTweets/status/1859667333859463393/

 ...did they? Do you have any credible evidence for the integrity of these votes?

 Very easy to explain if the answer is, "They didn't."

Ban Banking for the Lower Classes

 Banks have to be banned from re-loaning loaned notes. However, there is a different and likely better way. Ban the incompetent lower classes from banks. Not civilized enough to be able to handle them.

 It's a quick test. "Hey, do you think fractional reserve is a good idea?" Ask it a few different ways. Test them on doing their due diligence as well. If they're too dumb to punish corrupt banks, they don't get to bank. Have to go through their local, personally-acquainted lord. 

 Conveniently this also fixes [[[usury]]], as anyone too dumb to handle loans will be automatically excluded. 

 P.S. Stuff like privacy also has to be divided by class. The lower classes can't afford privacy. The local lord has to be able to go through their bills or bank statements, so he can scold the wayward children (21+). Likewise, he needs to be able to inspect their kitchen and fuck them up for making unnecessary messes. Etc. By contrast, trying to strip privacy from the upper classes leads to violence and failure.

Golden Scion Mean

 Have enough children you don't feel the need to helicopter, because you have spares. Don't have so many children you have to push them out of the nest make room.

 Don't have so many children you can't afford to let them be dependent if they want to be. Don't have so few children you can't afford to let them be independent when and as much as they want to be.

Heroes and Sadism

 https://twitter.com/GraniRau/status/1808678578579456440
Absolutely correct.
Yet
It's more than merely the permitted outlet for the sadism of the [[righteous]].
The point of society, to these individuals, is to act out a cosmic play. All the roles must be filled. They want to fill the [[avenger]] role or some equivalent, hence there must be a victim to be avenged, hence there must be a criminal producing a victim. If society doesn't produce enough criminals, it's not acting out the cosmic play properly, and the [[righteous]] will subtly encourage criminals - or not so subtly, if necessary - until all the roles are filled.

 E.g. the reason crime reports appear in the news so often is so that individuals know that [criminal] is a valid role, a way to be acknowledged by society. They genuinely think society will fail in some metacosmic way without criminals to help vitalize it.
 Think of female conformity and tradition. If there are cops, there must always be cops. Okay. But if there are criminals, there must always be criminals too. Worse: having cops is obviously pointless if there are no criminals, but there must always be cops. Because conformity.

As per usual, we get to narcissism. Victim and persecutor form two points of a triangle, and the third is saviour or hero.
By inspection, a persecutor needs a victim.
Less obvious: the victim needs a persecutor. Otherwise they would secure their shit. Security is always affordable. They're not buying it because they want to be victimized, to get their v-card punched. Prey morality.
The hero needs the victim, the hero needs the persecutor. The hero needs a victim or they can't display heroism. Check: if there are too many heroes and not enough victims, the heroes don't go all, [yay justice] they fight amongst themselves. Victim supply not meeting victim demand.

Sadly that is a rare occurrence, and not because criminals can't be suppressed. (Ref: El Salvador.)

It's a rare occurrence because it's so hard to keep heroes acting heroic if there's a shortage of victimization. They need victims so badly they will create victims themselves if necessary.

 Put another way, if heroes demand victims (and they assuredly do) that makes them identical to persecutors, they're just pretending to be on the other side.

 The hero will become the persecutor, because Christianity is correct: the three points of the trinity are all in fact the same person. God isn't man, but hero is victim. Victim is criminal. Criminal is hero. The criminal saves the victim from the appalling state of not being victimized. The victim cajoled for and tempted the crime; they are an accomplice. All those tragic origin stories are startlingly relevant IRL, as the [hero] becomes a [hero] due to suffering irreparable damage.
 The hero isn't trying to save you, he's trying to save himself. He's not only not selfless, he's utterly self-absorbed. If you don't need saving, he will deliberately break your leg. If you don't need saving, then he doesn't need saving, and he will never accept that he did the damage to himself. If you don't need saving, how is he supposed to save himself through you? Hence, you <b>must</b> need saving, by hook or by crook.

 Cops seek government funding because it causes perverse effects. Causing policing to increase crime is the point.

 My interpretation of Bukele is that the murder got so bad that suffering was in fact decreasing, as the dead can no longer suffer. Without crime, the suffering will have to be made up in other ways.
 It is absurdly unlikely that Bukele is suppressing crime because crime is unjust. 

 

 A security guard is not a cop. Not a hero. Done correctly, his job is extremely monotonous, as nobody tries anything.
 If there are no victims, there are no heroes.
 Further, he is, you know, paid for his work. Imagine that: showing your appreciation for someone using, like, money. That they can spend on themselves. As opposed to parades, which are not only useless, but aggressively boring.
 If he's paid up front to save you, it's not heroism, it's a job.

 The above is not actually rocket science. Wriiting it down is supremely autistic, but knowing it is universal.
 That is: the heroes know implicitly that it's not about saving anyone. If someone says they want to be a hero, it's not admirable, it's a confession. You should jail them. Hang by the neck until dead.
 The hero doesn't act for pay because what they're doing isn't worth anything IRL. If they demanded pay you would hire security to cut down on costs, and, then, whoops, no crimes, no victims, no heroes.
 
 A fortiori: the hero [[selflessly]] forgoes payment because Communism. The point is to undercut and crowd out effective solutions. The same way that if the government offered cars for free, it would be all but impossible to buy a quality car, because no productive firm can compete with free.

Putin Owes NATO for Rejection

 If you got fired for refusing the covid vaccine, remember being rejected by nato was one of the best things to happen to russia in living memory. 

 Don't get closer. Don't try to fix Satan. Get further away, and secure your shit.

If mortals owned their malice it would be hard to be judgmental.

 "Hell yeah I'm evil! Sending my kids to be tortured by pedophiles again today!" Well...not my kids, not my business. We'll see how that works out for you.

 It's when they make excuses et cetera that they display mens rea. The pushback is nonrandom.
 The denials reek of guilt.

Welkin Tales: Angels

 Angel means messenger.

 The old lore says demons can't hide their chicken feet. They can change shape but there's always a massive, obvious tell. Likewise, discerning a true angel is trivial

 The angel looks like you. Sounds like you. Uses your own mannerisms. The scene will be you talking to yourself. However, they know things you don't know.

 For example, in most cases if you need to worship, you should worship your ancestors. Alchemically, your ancestors are you. That's why they share your interests and would reply to any of your requests. As such, speaking to your ancestors will appear, spiritually, as if you're talking to yourself (but again).

Droit du Seigneur

 Black legend: local lord forcibly takes everyone's virginity

 Reality: a particularly degenerate but pretty lord's son results in no virgins to marry. "He forced me!" Yeah the problem with telling a story as old as time is that everyone has heard it before... 

 "But don't tell anyone, he, uh, he threatened me yeah that's it." Did he also threaten you into drawing water at his well every day instead of the one at your house?

Motorbikes Are Cool And All

 ...but if you have autism you get to worry about a nerve tremor instantly killing you through no fault of your own. 

 There is exactly one car that's worth driving.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaWoo82zNUA

 The exact opposite of an SUV. Not only is the chassis efficiently priced, consider the lack of fuel you'll be paying for.

Pity and Stupidity

 It is normal to feel pity for the stupid. This doesn't mean you should treat them like a woman and coddle them. This means you should put them out of our misery. Along with their misery. The [pity] feeling is mislabelled. Points you in a direction it does not intend for you to go.

Immunity to Manipulation, Step 2

 Think logically instead of solely using emotion. 

 React to what the words mean rather than how the words make you feel. 

 Assess statements by whether they are consistent, not by whether they make you feel jangly. 

 Be capable of thinking strategically, which, banally, means thinking about later emotional states. Thinking about how the consequences will feel in the future, rather than how actions feel in the present. 

 Nearly all mortals are immune to logic, rather than immune to manipulation.

 I suspect this ability is born, not learned. Usually the only feasible way to avoid manipulation is to be strict with ingroup/outgroup. Never listen to the outgroup. Unless you're a spy, and your job is espionage, it's not your job. This in turn means getting lucky with your pope. If you avoid manipulation this way, what do you do if your priest tries to manipulate you? You get pwned, that's what you do.

Restitution When the Process is the Punishment

 Since the process is now the punishment, if found innocent, the defendant is owed restitution by the courts.

 E.g. Kyle Rittenhouse can justly sue the United States Government for cruel and unusual prosecution. Rittens deserves to be reimbursed for having to stand trial. He was wronged, and it needs to be righted.

 If they don't like that, they need to rescind the [process=punishment] policy.

Escapism Real Quick

 Narratives are escapist when they have unrealistic psychology.

 Narratives aren't escapist if the characters have verisimilitude.

 I have enjoyed many harem comedies. However, the idea that these girls are attracted to that (using the term loosely) man is laughable in all but one case. This is escapist fantasy.

 Of course, stuff like Ergo Proxy and Aeon Flux is also escapist fantasy, albeit depressing instead of cute and fuzzy. "A bit of the worst of both worlds for ya."

 Dark Souls is way further down the scale on escapism. "If the giant dragon bites you, you probably can't just cast healall and fix it. Usually you die."

Presumption of Innocence Very Short Ver.

 We presume innocence in murder trials because we have assumed the State is corrupt. We assume it is prosecuting an innocent man so as to protect the guilty. It must prove to us that, in this case, it is at least prosecuting someone who deserves persecution.

 The proper uses of presumption of innocence are merely special cases of the presumption of guilt. 

 Always presume guilt.

 Always presume guilt until you have specific and substantive evidence to the contrary.
 E.g. if you ask me for more evidence I will provide it. If you don't ask, I will presume bad faith, as per the above.

On Open Societies

 It seems it has been comprehensively shown that open society is no mere bad idea, but impossible, without caveats.

 I rather suspect the architects of the alleged open society were aware of this. Even a small Conquest #1 advantage reveals this sort of thing.

 The premise of the alleged open society is that some things seem bad but aren't bad, and you should tolerate them. "Eat your vegetables," sociology edition.
 This is wrong for various and diverse reasons.
 The major one is a logical problem: tolerance must necessarily be intolerant of intolerance, and thus not tolerance.  Self-contradiction. Quis custodiet: who defines what is to be tolerated? An ""open"" society is inherently a closed society. If it wanted to it could even choose to tolerate exactly the same things a regular self-admitted closed society tolerates.
 A little bit worse: given that tolerance is necessarily about tolerating things that seem bad, self-declared open society intolerance must necessarily be aimed at things which seem good.

 A futher logical necessity: ultimately mortal good and bad are judged against mortal values. Without edge conditions it's impossible for something to seem bad and be good. Open societies are necessarily broadly evil.

 In practice it's a race condition. Whoever claims their behaviour is to be 'tolerated' first must necessarily seize the punishment machinery and cause it to intolerate anyone who opposes them. Evil things are secured first, necessarily crowding out security on good things. In other words the parasites, who want it more, define supressing parasitism as intolerance.

 Example: "free" speech. It's about tolerating speech you think is bad. This means being intolerant of speech (or any other force) you think suppresses bad speech.
 I once said free speech is worth at most what you pay for it. Turns out I was too merciful and forgiving. Too soft.
Free speech is inherently evil speech.

Spiritual Patterns

 "In early 2022 it looked like Trump was finished"
 https://twitter.com/uberboyo/status/1850868057201098993/

 As above, so below. In early '22, something happened. 

Blackpill Virtue

 Among their many virtues, one virtue of blackpills stands out: it makes folk stop fighting. Hey idiots, I don't want to see your dumb fights. I especially don't want to see them all day every day.

 Paul Fussell was right. All this status jockeying produces no actual status. Voters dedicate their entire lives to hoarding status and end up exactly where they started. "Communism creates enormous destruction while failing to advance at all toward its stated goals. That’s kind of why communism sucks so much."

 If you blackpill someone, they calm down. They relax. Even if they let their enemy run free, he, too, will accomplish nothing. The threat was always delusionary.

 Result: I don't have to look at the retard slapfight.

Why Americans are so Ignorant

 Satanism. Being as ignorant of Creation as possible is a major Satanist devotional act. Nameless Theocracy.

I Watched Some World of Warcraft Streams

 Don't look at me like that. There's a good reason.

 I noticed that WoW mobs are incredibly boring. I also noticed the hosts are incredibly boring.

 Then it hit me: that's why WoW was so successful. It was boring. Boring people like boring "entertainment." They get envious and upset by interesting mechanics.

 I saw a couple girls hosting a WoW stream. First they talked for five minutes about how some stranger's dick was small. "I bet he smells." Yes, riveting, thank you. Then headsets. "I didn't like this one, so I bought this other one, which I did like." Except five minutes long.

 Tried another.

 Talked about drinking water. "Coffee doesn't do it for me, I think everyone should drink 500 gallons of pure water a day." Except five minutes long. Chat: "Is it possible to drink too much water?" Asking the tough questions. I know search engines are far too difficult for an average man to use, let me google that for you.
 And...then...talked about headsets.
 Finally we have amogus. "I should behave differently when I kill stuff in among us." Any nice anecdotes about funny things that happen in among us? "What? No. Some of those aren't about me? Why would I talk about them?"
 "That scared me. Imagine I like fell? Down? And died from fall damage." I probably have to mention this isn't a six-year-old. 

 

 Honestly it's a little impressive. Don't you have to put some effort in to be that aggressively boring? Surely it doesn't come naturally? Surely they find it boring too, they merely have nothing better to offer?

 Note that the enemies in WoW are all damage springs with exactly the same HP at any given level. There's a bit of a difference between a caster and a melee type, but only in that the caster does more damage - either because melee classes have heavy armour which they pierce, or because they have the range to hit the caster classes. They're not even as sophisticated as Dragon Warrior 1 enemies.

 DQ1 has stopspell and sleep. That's three kinds of fights just on the player side. Four if you count hurtmore. Then four more - for a total of sixteen - because the enemies can cast too. Plus the metal slimes. The model of the enemy tells you, if you've learned, how much damage and HP they have. In later entries, nearly every enemy has some unique form of causing you problems.

 And yet WoW is vastly more grindy than even DQ1. With exactly one kind of fight, every fight, from 0-60. I especially enjoy the recommended levelling rotation for classic frost mages. "Frostbolt." You don't wand or autoattack. Spam one button for days of cumulative playtime. (I kid, you open with frost nova, /then/ spam frostbolt.)

 Then you move through to later expansions and realize most players can't handle a rotation more complicated than one button. Despite spending up to weeks of playtime learning their class. Some of them can't reliably manage to not stand in fire while spamming one button.
That's the massive market WoW tapped into.

 Is there a selection effect? You can stand in fire and spam one button while not even looking at the screen. Perhaps "who plays this shit?" is exactly the answer - almost anyone who wanted to, you know, play a game stopped playing around level 10 because it's such a shit game if you try to, you know, play it.

 Preselection: playing a game solely because others are playing the game.
All the WoW killers also had shit gameplay. Of course if your primary selling point is preselection the biggest option is the only one that can be successful.  

 Classic WoW is a wonderful combination of tedious as fuck and still hard. If you pull more than two enemies, you will die. Maybe if you do everything perfectly you won't die, and avoiding the double-pull is hardly trivial. It's entirely possible to want to get inside a spawn zone to hunt down quest targets, but you can't clear a path faster than they respawn, so you have to risk getting surrounded.

 P.S. It's indisputable that the class designers of WoW never played their own game, and just barely managed to figure anything out by 3.0.

 Ironically the instances are better. Bosses indeed have mechanics. Warriors don't have to tediously heal all the time, because there's a healer. The variations in enemy pack create variation in fights. But the instances aren't MMO. They're 5 player games. "WoW is an acceptable game if you remove its major selling point."

Trumpen AntiReich

 True Believer Trump, or one of his fellow travellers, might irresponsibly inflict liberty on americans.

 And boy howdy are they going to find out they hate it.

Parasites gonna Parasocial

 The outcome is fixed, therefore the rules cannot be. Traitors must betray their own principles.

Low Tech Usually Beats High Tech

 High tech is used to justify bureaucratic expansion or for Envy reasons (but I repeat myself). It is rarely cost-effective or irreplaceable.

 For example, large data transfers are best done via carrier pigeon. You can also beat internet speeds using a car, but the wages of the driver and fuel bill render the option inefficient. Pigeons normally aren't used not due to costs, but because they're icky and gauche, preventing infrastructure investment.

Hoplophobes Plan Treachery

 I don't carry a knife. However, I hardly begrudge those who do. Carry two dozen blades if you want. That's downright cool.

 Why am I not afraid? Because I have no plans or desire to defect on random strangers. I don't even want to be rude to them. They will have no need to defend themselves from me, thus I don't have to worry about their weapons. 

 

 Hoplon, weapon, hoplite, warrior. Hoplophobe typically refers to specifically a fear of guns. "The most common manifestation of hoplophobia is the idea that instruments possess a will of their own, apart from that of their user." 

 However, it is not truly an irrational fear. The belief that the weapon has a will of its own is known as a [lie]. An excuse.  

 Toxic masculinity is especially toxic to traitorous deviants. Parasites can't be afraid of the host, they need the host, they afraid of a host's defences. Criminals live in agonizing fear of these poisons.

What if Sugar Isn't Poison?

 It might be not the sugar itself, but unvetted contaminates coming from the industrial sugar refining process. Fine metal particles, perhaps. 

 It could also be the fact sugar is processed in third world countries by third world workers. Safety guidelines; lol, great joke. 

 Or both.

Affordability of Security via Metaphors

 If it might rain, you bring an umbrella.
 If you don't bring an umbrella, you have implicitly consented to getting wet.
 Prayer status: answered.
 If you can't afford to get wet and don't have an umbrella, then don't go outside in the first place. 

 

 I'm not talking about the weather. I'm talking about mortal deviants. Peasants throw rotten fruit. Chimps throw their own shit.
 If you're in a position to get pelted with refuse, you must have first fundamentally consented. Security is made of not getting into range of the mob in the first place.

 The worst off are the defectors themselves. They always harms themselves more than their victim. The peasant gets buggy tomato juice on their own hand. The chimps smear poop on themselves. Yet, their target can dodge. Their aim can be imperfect. It is only the defector who is guaranteed to suffer.

 For deviants to prosper, they have to be subsidized by their victims. The victim has to not only fail to bring an umbrella under storm clouds, they have to bring a bucket and upend it over their own head. They have to go further than naivete, they have to actively cooperate with the criminal. The payoff for defect/defect IRL in fact favours the victim, something like -3/-2, maybe. Deviants would go bankrupt if left alone. Biotrash takes itself out, unless someone violently stops it.

 Defection is always costly, even defecting on defectors. This is why one ought to favour execution. Defect all at once, decisively. Minimize self-inflicted costs. 

 Machiavelli's dictum: do no small harm. If they're a net cooperator, leave it alone. If they're a net defector, don't hold back. 

 The issue with black governments is the enormous number of willing, even eager cucks. Executing a black government is a daunting task, but this is because doing so is unjust. Their victims deserve the oppression. If a tyrant didn't exist, they would be forced to invent it. And indeed they heavily secure the existence of their tyrant. Revealed preferences. Prayer status: answered. 

 Built on a flood plain. One floor houses. No dykes. No stocked sandbags.
 Made of sugar.
 And now they're whining that the world is full of suffering? It's not a whoopsie, they're doing it on purpose.

 Cooperators need to make the black government none of their business. Clean your room. Turn off the TV. Employ umbrellas.
 If this seems difficult, it is likely you're closely associating with eager prey. Stop hanging around with masochistic sheep, and it will be a lot easier. 

CPS = IRS

 Child "protective" services are a subagency of the tax man. They step in when something threatens to severely impact future tax receipts. They don't care about children in the slightest, except children who starve to death can't pay taxes when they grow up. Children with crippling injuries might get disability pay instead of paying in. Etc.

Revenge is Sour and Freedom

 The condition under which society will permit freedom is when you don't need it. 

 If your society is cool, you don't need to be free of it. If society is trying to clamp down on your freedom, it is because it is planning on being parasitical and tyrannous. 

 

 It goes both ways.

 

 The condition under which society is capable of mortally wounding your freedom is that it doesn't need to. Evil is weak. Tyrants are weak. Tyrants are so violent because they're insecure. Even if they build a physical iron curtain, they can't retain anyone who seriously wants out.

 I often say security is always affordable, but what I should say is that for cooperators, security is always affordable. For defectors, security is impossible. To successfully defect, they must first delegitimize security. Black governments get overthrown all the time because they're inherently unstable. The things they would need to do to consolidate would legitimize their own resistance. 

 Free will is a cosmic guarantee. Mysteriously, it is branded directly into the underlying fabric of Existence. It is a true inalienable right. 

 If you are oppressed, it is because your will freely chose to remain under the oppressor.

Conscript Ukrainian Women

 You know why ukraine lost? No women in combat.

 Sexist russia only uses men as soldiers. Super sexist! Probably downright racist! (Women are so a race.) 

 Gotta draft dem wimmins, lol. Do your part, bitches.

Being a Ninja or a Foid is a Disability

 If you're disabled you're supposed to be able to get the job anyway. Even, or rather especially, if you can't do  the job. If you're hiring a spotter, you're not allowed to turn someone down simply because they don't have eyes. Naturally this is vote buying. Sinecures trades for patronage. Laundering tax dollars etc - they're supposed to make "political contributions" either directly or via their union dues.
 Naturally this is an Egalitarianism tenet. In seeming irony, Egalitarians love to rub your face, and society's face, in the fact Egalitarianism is incorrect. The more flagrantly unEqual someone is, the more stridently they will broadcast the fact you must act as if they are Equal. They know it is rebellion against god,. They want to make the rebellion as intense as possible. As comprehensive as possible.

 Firing a ninja or foid because they can't do the job is legally abjured, exactly the same way. Egalitarianism treats these traits as disabilities. The idea they might be able to get a job on their own merits doesn't even come up, let alone get addressed.

Front Mission Deep Dive

 Front Mission 1 on SNES, mainly for the emulator quality of life improvements. I'm completely spoiled by fast forward. Games that waste any of my time are all but unplayable now.

 They say that short is the best. In fact long is the best.

 The devs claimed the counter to missiles is punches, but the real counter to missiles is missiles. Blow off their arm with guide. Blow off their torso with guide.
 Longs should have been allowed to return fire if in range.

 Long would be the best solely due to the lack of counter-fire, yet there's more. Also get fewer dead turns, aren't throttled by choke points, and it's much easier to focus fire. Finally your mechs don't have to worry about armour, so they can optimize for movement. Or they can optimize for armour anyway, since they don't need to dash forward to hit other missileers. In theory longs are restricted with ammo, and in practice grenade launchers are superfluous.
 To win the hardest, make everyone a long specialist unless they can't learn guide at all.

 Long is the best, but it's boring. Every turn is the same: blow off an arm with guide. Blow off a leg with guide. Having only one skill is monotonous, and the enemies sit there dumb and take it. At least the explosions look neat.

 Meanwhile shorts have an unfair early advantage. All the earliest computers are around 8-15, except your guys start with 40 on short. Archers and monks miss all the time while bullets don't.
 In theory shorts have rifles and MGs, meaning a choice of two kinds of attacks.

 Flamethrowers seem to gain a large miss chance when used with duel. Duel 3 + flamethrower will miss even in the arena. Likewise the 8-range rockets gain an extra miss roll when used with guide. Level 4 helps a lot. They work like grenade launchers, which are supposed to have an extra miss chance.

 Shields say they add def, but this only applies while guarding, and only one counts. They do add a small amount of agi.

 Stuns and flash prevent all misses, including misses from aiming at parts that no longer exist using duel or guide.

 Next section has a fourth hidden mechanic.
 
 In the long term guns are extremely overpowered, but in the long term everything is overpowered. A common experience with high-XP boxers: go first even on counterattack, punch torso once, enemy explodes. The game is balanced around a mediocre player who wastes money, uses the wrong weapons, spreads training between two specializations, and levels characters & grabs skills they ultimately won't use, meaning anyone who focuses ends up incredibly destructive. The devs also forgot to give skills to the enemy.
 They made damage boosts from ability level a flat number, meaning it's multiplied by the number of hits. It's probably supposed to balance against armour, a flat reduction, so the weapon damage dominates. But, uh, it doesn't. You have to try something fancy to fail to out-level the armour curve. In the end it's hard not to hit the XP cap.
 A major reason launchers and guns are so powerful late in the game is because punches don't have a multihit option, while missiles max out at 3 and guns get 5. (One unique looted arm has 8.) The insane burst late game shorts can put out is amusing; one-round an entire wanzer from full to deleted. Get upset when you unluckily hit the chest too many times and kill it prematurely, even though you're already at 9999 XP.
 That said it seems certain weapons, usually high-hit versions, can anti-crit. E.g. sun owl (3) or monstro (5), probably siege (5) too. They have much higher damage variance, or rather, much deeper variance. Their top-end damage is calculated as usual, but low-end is much lower. Unfortunately the only way to know is to go into the arena and test it. Meaning, buying two weapons, knowing you don't want to use one of them, but not knowing which one. The difference is large and you only need to look, you don't need to carefully track minimum and maximum damage. On the plus side, these weapons are great for training, since you attack so many times without destroying anything.

 In the short term, punching has skills and guns don't. Longs also get guide before shorts get anything. The hardest mission in the game is hell's wall, with the six red frost mechs, and it happens before any reasonable way to get your first short skill. The MC makes an excellent boxer, but that said, he's likely the only one to get striking skills before hell's wall, except those who start with them.
 The MC and Yang regularly get all three fist skills before second-tier shorts get their first. Getting a second short skill takes so long they're OP purely from XP damage bonuses before it happens. However, there is an unreasonably effective strategy: funnel all your XP to one ace who becomes a overlevelled death god - and doing it on a gunner is a great idea.
 I found punching with fast light mechs didn't trivialize the game the way missiles do or duel does. Punches are more engaging due to multiple skills and greater randomness, and it doesn't feel like you're crippling yourself waiting for the shorts to level. The MC makes an excellent boxer.
 
 Once acquired, skills level by random chance. It's not some hidden XP meter, it's a series of dice that eventually come up doubles. You obviously don't have to trigger duel or guide to level them up, and this tips you off that it's true for all skills. It's based solely on initiating an attack round. Even for switch and double when you have only one weapon.

 Double levels slowly, as does switch. Even slower because the chance is per attack phase. With double or switch, you kill faster, attack less often, and they don't get as many chances to level. I have one game with max level double, and it's comically lethal, but in my less sweaty game nobody even got to 3. Level three isn't remotely necessary, but failing to get there was disappointing nonetheless. Wasn't victory-lapping the later missions as hard as possible.
 Guide levels (to 3) very easily.
 

 Speaking of levelling, I found it's a great idea to level 1s to 2 in the colosseum. Doesn't take long. Levelling to 3 using the arena is painful. The chance of hitting level 4, arena or no arena, is only not-zero in the most technical sense.
 Usually I make money because I find it more interesting, but it's also possible to level skills against your clone. Buy weak weapons and let it run on auto. Don't sell piz3s, they're ideal training weapons and you can't buy them. To get double or switch to level faster, use a tonfa+rifle setup or encourage them to lose an arm.
 There's no notification for skill ups, but if you're making money the odds will shift hugely when you get your skill level, letting you stop when it works. Alt: grind skills against the top guy, spamming a and holding fast-forward.
 Warning: there's a bug in the translation that locks the game when Keith tries vs. mode.



 If you want to try a fisticuffs run, remember only the MC, Yang, and Gregorio can learn all three beating skills. Keith learns double automatically but can't learn the other two => free double retaliations for a missileer build. Meanwhile Alder can allegedly learn skills other than stun, but can't actually.
 First and double produces a lethal assassin. Often punches their weapon off.
 Double and stun (Katarina, Yeehin, Ralph) is a decent brawler.
 First and stun conflict. Every status has a 50% chance of clearing every opportunity, and if you wake in battle you immediately get a turn, meaning stun has a 50% chance to do nothing if you go first. First and double will cripple or kill outright far more often than first and stun will stick the stun.

 All are random, meaning you never know what you're going to get when you go punching. You can go in, not get first, punch once, and miss the stun. You can punch four times and they're stunned istead of getting to attack, if they're somehow still alive. You go in, get first, punch off an arm and their legs, stun them, and then they wake up and attack you anyway. Much vary, many chance, wow.

 In rare cases the stun will land after the first hit. Dunno if there's any cause, but it's still a chance to stun per volley, not per strike. Stunning an already-stunned enemy does nothing if it is possible, because the odds of waking up are 50% every turn regardless.


 
 The key to a successful short run is not to use rifles, because they kill too efficiently. Use the MGs to maximize damage spread and destroy as many components as possible. Very early the enemies are weak and you don't need efficiency, and later the extra XP will make up for the efficacy delta.
 Duel is hilariously broken. As if you're using guide, but with less miss chance and without sacrificing your counter-attack capacity. Never let arms or legs to go waste again. Duel renders rifles obsolete.
 Switch is stronger than speed at every level, but improves slowly and has support costs.
 Speed is basically weak, but levels fast and is more than strong enough.

 If not OP enough, duel + speed + flash is a combo. The stun will prevent shots that hit nothing from hitting nothing; aim at the legs and it cuts way down on accidentally destroying the body instead of the whole wanzer.



 The key to a successful long run is to use longs. I mainly use non-longs on folk who can't learn guide due to aesthetic considerations, and secondly because [all missiles] really is monotonous.




 It's a great idea to look up a list of characters and plan which 11 you intend to develop. I regularly neglect Frederick because fuck journalists.

 On hidden characters: there's a guy you need to backtrack and talk to in the bar, and later there's a guy quietly hanging out at the top of the colosseum list.

 The game is hilariously racist in places. The black guy is a bit slow to learn...but not nearly as stupid as the journalist. Just like in real life, and it lets me feel good about permanently benching the journalist. There's also a weepy fat traitorous bitch who can't fight. In the opening the MC's fiancee gets herself merked because (sub rosa) she can't even. Wat is a girl even doing in a mech, lol. There are a couple [[strong]] female characters, but anime gonna anime.
 The most movementy movers are part of the fagot set.

 When I first played the game, I carefully reserved expensive components for my elites and bought everyone else the cheap stuff. I respected the heavy/energy/hybrid classes.
 Major problem: the cheap stuff isn't cheap. Buying cheap stuff for your whole squad won't even save enough money to buy one extra component per type, in most cases.
 Second problem: the arena is right there. There's always someone with wrong odds. Find a 1.5-2.0 who you can kill 97% of the time, and make as much cash as you can possibly want. At low level the XP adds up and at high level you can use it to train skills at the same time.
 Third: I, uh, don't run out of money. I can afford everything. The way to save is to peek ahead at how many wanzers you're allowed, and not pay for equipment you'll never use. Beltchka in particular; you just needed only 8/11, it was only one fight, and now this town is state of the art for one fight of 5/11 wanzers.

 You get the best hovers immediately before a mission that traps all wheels, treads, and hovers in the starting zone. This is also after having five missions without a new town. Pacing.
 Bonus: the game doesn't tell you what kind of movement a mover is. Look at it and guess.
 Treads have extreme HP and offset their exteme weight with +energy. They're fast in deserts (1.5 missions).

 Using all your weight isn't quite free. Each 10 weight you leave free (+1) gives you 1 movement point. 89, +1, 79, +2, etc. Turn 14 into 15, 16 into 18, 18 into 21, and if you're really ambitious, 20 into 24.

 Moving up or down a level costs one movement point and one missile range. There is a convenient chart of terrain costs in here somewhere. However, the costs are wrong for beaches and for roads with treads. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ds/935704-front-mission/faqs/50365
 Height costs missiles 3 times it costs legs, meaning ironically the high ground is disadvantageous for long-range weapons, just like the low ground. Flat ground is ideal.

 There are three missions in the game where you can find loot on the ground. Two of them are mutally exclusive; it's two chances to get the same unique OP OP rifle, zeige, which is light, the strongest and most accurate, and adds 650 xp every time it shoots. The other loot mission is the train mission.

 Peewee can pick up speed 3 on his first level, but it doesn't seem he can actually trigger it. P.S. The game claims he's poorly armoured, and this is a filthy lie. That truck is a beast.
 I got tripped up by the fact allegedly Ralph can learn guide, but hint: he starts with more XP than he needs. He only has two skill slots, and they both start full.
 Certain FAQs claim you can only dodge missiles if you guard with guard, and it looks to me that's true. You still use the shield. When I tried it I countered a rocket brigade by ignoring them until they ran out of ammo.
 The quickest way to view skills is the status slideshow. The quickest way to view items is the trade menu in setup. The only way to find most information is in the pilot menu under setup.

 Double should increase damage by 65% / 131% / 246% / 310%
 Switch should increase damage by 43% / 94% / 246% / 310%, but definitely doesn't.
 Speed on a 5-round gun is 10% / 24% / 42% / 54%
 I've never seen it worthwhile to use a lower-shot gun with speed.

 The AI is highly exploitable, but it's so exploitable I'm not going to go into detail.


 
 It would be fun if the following was a good idea. Having a missile on one shoulder, a shield on the other, a bazooka in one hand, and another short weapon in the other for switch.
 In practice this is a terrible idea. If you have high level short skills, just run up and kill them. If you want a bit of bonus range, use flash grenades, which don't consume weight. And don't require XP damage and accuracy bonuses: levelling one guy in two skills is always worse than levelling two guys in one skill each. Give your missileers two missiles, so they don't run out, so they don't need bazookas, and anyway they never need to defend themselves at short range.

Nature of Celebration

 I have finally understood the nature of celebration. 

 I considered an army getting drunk to celebrate a victory. Someone would have to take care of the army while they're impaired. Basically, a second army. And there it is: celebration is doing something that isn't worthwhile, such as drinking to excess, but having someone else clean up after you. Offloading the costs, so as to reap the benefits. This means kings or popes cannot celebrate, as they can't pass the buck. 

 No other reward makes sense. Celebration is not being paid for a job well done. Hence, it can't be anything they worked for. It can't be anything they truly deserve. If it's something that makes them healthier, either it's worth doing and you do it ASAP, you don't hold it back, or it's not worth doing and you spend the money on something else.

Violently Oppose Those Who Deprecate Defeat

 "you see them not run from being defeated, but cheerfully charge in again, because losing is good for you, losing is how you know you’ve picked an opponent worthy of a man. You learn to love things that are hard."
 https://www.thepsmiths.com/p/review-math-from-three-to-seven-by

 Losing is unpopular, and therefore unamerican.

 Envy media is engineered to be diametrically opposed to cheerfully challenging a losing proposition. Even if you do really lose, you have to pretend you won. 

 Consequently, you can't do any real work in public.  

 It becomes socially normal to avoid any real work. It becomes socially normal to ensure nothing gets done. Sounds an awful lot like a bureaucracy. (Are bureaucracies made of envy?)

 Christians are called to suffer for their fellow man. Consequently they run out of resilience capacity and can't face defeat for growth. Which is intended: growth causes inequality, which is inEgalitarian.
 Slaves don't get paid, so doing a better job doesn't benefit you, it merely makes the other slaves look bad. 

 Schools fanatically discourage losing. Every defeat goes on your [[[permanent record]]]. As we know, americans are well-schooled.

On Biological Science vs. Religious Science

 Christianity would have been much worse if it hadn't been modified by its adopted races. 

 For example, it might have been judaism. Or even islam. 

 When christians claim science, it's a journalism. Wet streets cause rain. 

 It's the opposite: only the christian races have shown the capacity to adopt logic. No matter how limited that adoption might be. Exposure to europe logicked christianity, and the inherent rationality of the underlying race managed to well up despite the smothering christian blanket, not because of it.

Concentration Camps

 Red cross data says hitler killed around 270,000 jews. Whether this is is less than the propaganda is beside the point. I mean, it's not a small number.

 Public prussian prostitute school kills this many children every nine years, through suicide alone. 

 Of course, more dead more better. The point is the lack of principles. These are not trustworthy folk, and should be treated with war or not at all.

Symbolically Fat is Tolerance

 A thick protective suit between you and the outside world, see? A blobby buffer.

 Every time you put up with defection, you gain a layer of fat.
 Social poison. Also physical poisons, like car exhaust and glyphosate. Gets stored in the blubber. Especially when you exceed your steady-state tolerance limit.

 If you stop putting up with the bullshit, one way or another you will slim down. 

 Being fat is low class because being a doormat is low class.
 Americans are especially fat because they especially love treachery and getting victimized. Their lab rats are especially fat because they're especially poorly treated. Their cars are fat because they're designed and built by abusive Communists (but I repeat myself).

 Note that along with poisons, the fat stores hormones. When you lose buffer fat, you will re-live the emotions of the poisonous time. Also also psychic poisons. Fatness is an ill-health debt, a delta between earned harshness and experienced harshness. The debt has to be paid back.

If the squirrel's owner hadn't doxxed himself, nobody would know who to send the complain/harassment to

 I heard a guy homesteading on federal land got his cabin seized and bulldozed.

 ...because he was youtubing it. Yeah. Hey moron, don't broadcast your illegal behaviour. The Regime will notice if you set up a flashing neon sign pointing directly at your own face. 

 Imagine walter white livestreaming his meth lab. Including shots from the outside, so the lab can be located.
 Turns literally asking for it is a bad idea. Who knew. Shocking news.

Sword + Shield Beats Sword + Sword

 When facing sword+sword with weapon+shield, ironically the shield becomes your main weapon. 

 

 Sword beats unarmed.

 Two swords beats one sword. Engage their weapon with one of yours, then stab with the other weapon.
 You can sometimes simply slice with both swords, and they'll only be able to parry one. Unfortunately if they're smart and know they can't win but don't run away, you invite a suicide attack. Best to ensure the parry while going for the stab. 

 There's a good reason not to wear shields around town. They're inconvenient. Heavy, bulky, in the way. Same reason you don't casually walk with a spear. Presumably there was a good reason not to wear two swords around town, but I have no idea what it might be. I mean, I understand samurai did wear two swords around town.

 Sword and shield beats two swords. Engage their weapon with yours, then shield bash. Your shield can attack and defend at the same time.
 If they're trying to attack with their other weapon, try to break their wrist. If they're trying to defend, you can try to shove their weapon into their own body. If they try to pull back from your shield, shield-check them. Regardless of what they're doing with the main hand, you can lash out towards it with your shield, both blocking the weapon and slamming a big heavy shield into them. They will probably realize they're losing and run, but if they don't, keep at it until you've done enough damage to make them drop the weapon. Whereupon it's like two-sword vs. one sword. Set up a block and go for the stab at the same time. Checkmate.

Instant Nopes

 "Talented amateur?"

 "Keep pretending. But at least you put the effort in."
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/65040/an-unborn-hero/chapter/1131089/chapter-7-suspicions

 If your girlfriend says that to you, dump her immediately. Just turn around, walk away. Block her phone number. Nope the hell out. 

 See also: apparently naps are a reverse-gender shit test. If she wakes you up from a nap just because, look at her funny, then pack. Don't say anything. Donezo. Not salvageable.
 Make sure you give her the test earlier rather than later.

Women, Not Children, Impressionable

 You can approximate a hunter tribe as all one family. Women aren't supposed to be allowed outside the walls or camp, at least not without a close escort. Consequently, women aren't supposed to ever meet someone they're not related to. They totally lack the machinery to be critical or discerning. Even if one or two brats are incorrigible liars, the local bigman can tell her not to trust them, and it's a one-time thing. Women are biologically incapable of real distrust.

 A trustworthy stranger is a contradiction in terms. Most strangers will trip the I-am-a-stranger fixed action pattern. Strangers see you as a stranger, meaning the fixed action pattern will drive them to try to scam you. Why not take your tribe's resources for their tribe?

 Consequently, if you let strangers talk to women, their heads will be full of nonsense. You may be familiar with this phenomenon. Quite possibly you've seen it yourself. 

 Memes aren't real. In men. In women, very real. If you allow meme peddlers access to their ears, then their heads will be a competitive lie warzone, with the most virulent falsehoods rapidly becoming dominant.

 Literally a poison jar. Literally. 

 

 You can tell the women who go on "dates" know they need to distrust men. They don't actually manage to do it. They might learn a few anti-Game defences by rote, but men evolve faster than women can possibly hope to keep up with. Distrust is too masculine, only dikes have a real shot. (Which is yet another reason lesbian relationships are so cringe.) 

 

 Memes 2.0: hysterical illnesses are contagious in women and idiots. Fads and fashions are contagious only in women. Even incredibly effeminate Democrat Male isn't helplessly vulnerable.
 Cognitive dissonance is wholly feminine. A man simply discards one of the beliefs.

 Incorrigible brats 2: the local bigman hacks her [trust all men] machinery by placing one man against another. Perhaps this is why women evolved to see non-breeding males as not-male, as a hack so that she wouldn't have a seizure and crash when men disagree. P.S. Don't argue in front of women, they can't handle it. Cannot deal, cannot cope, cannot even. Men are supposed to be aware that women and children can't handle debate, so they hash it all out backstage and appoint a representative for opening night. It's not in the genes because the genes never imagined farmers could possibly grow up that ignorant. 

 Those of you with girls: consider that you're lucky if your woman ever doesn't lie to you. Without a male priest regularly telling her what to think, women are spending all their time listening to other women, which they're too not-male to understand they need to deprecate. Her genes think they do have a priest, and if he hasn't told them to discount something, it must be true.
 That is: going to church-equivalent every week is critical for women, and going at all is downright insulting for men. Having everyone go is wildly unstable, and having nobody go is also unstable.

  

Posiwid: egalitarianism is used in part to ensure women believe only poison. Some try to push back by trying the [impressionable children] out-lie-Satan strategy. The idea is that protecting children from [[misinformation]] will also protect women, but since it's a lie, it's weak. E.g. women can always access male idea spaces by (falsely) claiming to be adults due to age. Then they'll meet strangers. Then their heads will be full of poison.

you have to admit that script is really good

 If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, I will rape a truckload of local daughters, or a million gangbangers will be housed at taxpayer expense in your state, nobody panics, because it's all 'part of the plan.' But when I say that one little old squirrel will die, well then everyone loses their minds!

Worth Repeating: Tyranny Supply Exceeded Demand

 The oppression economy is administered by mortals, which means the mortals can overshoot, supplying more tyranny than is demanded. Indeed it's inevitable. 

 When this occurs, there is some minor pushback. A recession in the tyrant economy. Because demand calls forth supply, the oppression suppliers find they can't provide all the oppression they were planning on. 

 Much of the action is former tyranny consumers becoming producers, supplying it to previous producers. Everyone and especially the merchant caste makes a much bigger deal out of this than the underlying shifts support. 

 The tyranny happened because the voters hate themselves. The self-hatred hasn't gone anywhere. It's this: "Yeah I hate myself, but I don't  hate myself that much." It's this: "Actually I do hate myself that much, but I'll physically die if you keep this up, and how am I supposed to torment my worst enemy (me) if he's dead?"

Out-Lie Satan Strategy

 This strategy is a full cuck strategy. It's obvious that trying to peddle a falsehood to the Father of Lies is not going to work out for you, but how does that work out physically? Why is this Alchemical correspondence predictive?

 The out-lie Satan strategy is about challenging the defect throne without challenging it. It's a one-level self-contradiction. 

 Our Nameless sovereigns peddle the egalitarian lie. Then [[rightists]] or [[conservatives]] try to out-lie the Nameless One, to prevent the toxic effects of the egalitarianism lie without having to challenge Egalitarianism. 

 E.g, if men and women are identical, and men can decide who they marry, women must also be able to decide who they marry. Except women obviously can't decide this. Thus [[conservatives]] come up with [age of consent] to prevent tiny 13-year-old girls from marrying themselves off to whichever violent thug threatens/extorts her first. The Nameless Ones then twist this to prevent established adult men from being able to get virgin brides - the violent thugs extort tiny girls for whore sex instead of marriage, lol. Great work, [[rightists]]. Lies always serve Namelessness. [Age of consent] fails to protect juvenile women and does functionally support and uphold Egalitarianism. 

 If you want to challenge Satan without challenging Satan, you are a Satanist. You submit to Namelessness. It might look like virulent cowardice, but naturally Satanists are without honour. It's faith.

 Correspondence two: lying under a Nameless regime is inherently about submitting to Satan. Trying to usurp the liar throne without challenging lies per se. 

 Subversion of deviant structures supports those structure. The usurper always claims (falsely) that black kings have legitimacy. The usurper, and his opponents claiming he's a usurper, both assert that the black throne gives you the right to betray the realm. Opponent: "I'm fine with being extorted and betrayed, just not by you in particular." Voting against the Establishment in an election supports the idea that the elect are allowed to steal all your stuff. Defrauding a vote only works if the vote-winner gets indemnity against dishonourable, traitorous crimes.

 Trying to usurp the liar throne always fails as usurpation, it always reinforces Nameless doctrines.

Crime Rate at School

 A low-crime country like switzerland sees 0.5 murders per 100,000 subjects.

 Something like 16-17% of female school students suffer some kind of sexual assault from a teacher et al before graduation. That would be 16,500 per 100,000. This rate is literally worse than haiti.

 I'm not joking even a little when I say the proper name for someone at school is a [victim].
 I'm not joking when I call them concentration camps. They are war crimes.

 Of course, having such high crime rates is the point of Communism. If parents didn't want their little princesses to get raped, they wouldn't send them to school. I don't call it prostitute school for fun, though of course the real name is pedophile school. Suitable for Democrat Pedophile Man. Pedogogue => pedophile. As ought to be expected.

 Fun fact: using unofficial surveys, you get numbers like 40,000 per 100,000. That's, uh, awfully coincident with the rate of first marriage divorces - 43%. That is, of the married population, 57% never get divorced. Good for them.
 If she got pimped out at school, she can't stay married. So it would seem. Children are not resilient - this 40% rate includes unnormal flirting and failed verbal propositions. The kids are not okay, and haven't been for at least 140 years. They do not turn out fine. Usually the literal rape victims become de jure prostitutes, like porn stars. Dose, response.

 This is one reason rotherham isn't a real scandal. Nobody gives a shit if little girls are raped, not even the parents. If you wanted to shut down rapists or pedophiles, you would have jailed every schoolteacher in the 1800s.
 As usual, it's slave humblebragging. "I got my daughter raped more than you, neener neener." Got that v-card punched. That's so victim. All the other slaves goblin green with envy. "Man, why can't I get myself oppressed like that? *scuffs floor*" 

 You can't say immigrants don't belong here without saying schoolteachers don't belong here. It simply doesn't make any sense. You can't possibly be serious. 

 It should go without saying, but crime rates are tightly correlated. You only have to measure one crime to get a decent estimate of all crime. Physical assault is also clearly in the 30,000 kind of range per 100,000 at school, for example. School exposure itself is directly responsible for at least 10% of pre-18 mortality, which means it's responsible for a similarly astronomical murder rate, more than ten times that of e.g. switzerland conservatively. For america, schools kill as many children as all other lawbreakers combined, at least, and that's conflating the european, african, and drug cartel murder rates. Check out the mortality cliff when school is out for the summer, or when schools are closed due to covid or whatever.

 Of course by jail I mean the gibbet. 

 "If it saves just one child...will nobody please think of the children..."
 lol
 lmao even
