We can see the human status system is broken when it assigns high status to the government.

The government has been, for all of recorded history, a fundamentally criminal organization, and should share a status tranche with whores, drug addicts, sodomites, and other deviants such as journalists and actors. Whatever you want to do, the government is in the way and you first need to manipulate the government into not being in your way. Your domestic government is always more of a threat than foreign governments, because it has the exact same interests but is closer.

Naturally the government is always assigned the highest status, which allows it to parasitize with impunity. 

Dump it in the Ocean

Approvingly linking to a moron makes you sound like a moron. WTF is wrong with your face?

"This post is not meant to be advice for gun people, abortion people, or low tax people; those parts of the right have figured out how to have influence and are doing relatively well."

Oh my god.
Yes, America can absolutely be described as a place with strong abortion restrictions and low taxes.
You absolute nincompoop. You cannot possibly be as stupid as you're pretending to be.
American ""right"": proud of being graceless, gauche liars.

Of course pretending to be stupid means writing, to the best of your ability, like the avatar of brain cancer. It is worthless at best. If he has any good points it will be faster for me to think them up on my own than trying to extract them from this sewage. 

Dump it into the ocean and have done with it. 

Q: Why does the outsideness account attract moron followers?

A: You're not seriously asking, are you? Should I also explain why the Sun rises in the morning and why circles generally don't corners?

In Short, if the Bodyguards are a Protected Class...

"They can't find a way to make Baizuo a protected category, which stops them completing the system of German Idealism."
Isn't that exactly the trick?
You make your manservant and your groundskeeper protected classes. You send them to do all your errands, so in practice that makes you the protected class, as is the historical norm. However, by adopting the appearance of protecting the lower classes, criticism of the class system is deflected. Indeed it becomes easy to deny that there is a class system at all

Naturally anyone who refuses to be your manservant gets ejected, in practice, from the protected classes. Pro forma they match the definition, but everyone important - such as the manservants in charge of deciding when a protected class' protection is threatened - is told they're "Uncle Toms" or have "internalized misogyny" or whatever. Anyone who doesn't know what these euphemisms mean and protects an outgroup member is simply fired and themselves made outcast.

The only cost is making certain protections somewhat awkward. Sometimes the peasants notice that the police protect CNN and your gated community, for example, while allowing your manservants free reign to commit any crime they want in the peasants' neighbourhoods.
Occasionally someone stumbles upon a direct insult that can't be linked to attacking the 'protected' classes, but ignoring those just makes you look magnanimous, doesn't it? Though it is certainly annoying. 

Luckily figuring out the protected classes are all slaves (more directly than usual) of certain other classes would require seeing an inferential step beyond the childishly obvious, and is well beyond the capacities of the supermajority of peasants. The scam is quite secure.

Rectification: Liberalism

An attempt to pre-empt.

Two things are important: freedom and truth.

Either you can pursue your values or you can't. If you can, you are free. If you can't, then you ought to declare war on whoever is stopping you, because what do you have to lose? In a sense you can always either pursue your values or pursue the meta-value of being able to pursue other values.

Truth is important because you need to know what things to do to pursue your values. If you don't call a spade a spade, you have difficulties when it comes time to dig the ditches. Why is this rose not moving earth properly? It is a mystery.

Someone who bangs on about selflessness, sacrifice, or empathy is, 99.99% of the time, trying to rhetorically imprison you. They want you to stop pursuing your values, either because they want to own the things you're trying to own, or because they want you to pursue their values instead of your own.
When someone is trying to rhetorically imprison you, it's fine to lie to them. They are outgroup. Morality doesn't apply to the outgroup, because the outgroup surely won't apply morality for you. However, do remember to keep track of things properly internally. 


P.S. France had egalite, fraternite, liberte. America had vitae, liberte, and hedone. No verite, oops. No properte either. You could tell immediately that they were full of shit. Like a doctor who is promising to protect your vital organs: your heart and your liver. Err...you, uh, have something in your eye there...

The mystery is that America was ever worth something, not that it is now worth nothing. Reminder: being Amish is worth a billion dollars relative to being American. I don't think being Amish is some kind of supertechnology, since what they're doing is millennia old. Rather, being born American puts you a billion dollars in the hole. 

Or: you can tell Harvard was founded by smart people, because they know to tell the correct lie: verite. No liberte, though...

Puzzle: 72% of Americans claim to have read a book in the last year, but only 48% are even barely literate enough to read a newspaper.

Solution: Americans lie on phone surveys. 

Technically it's also possible the latter measurement is wrong, but it's unlikely. I've never gone wrong by assuming additional cynicism.

Rectification: Lynching

You probably already know this, but it's worth saying out loud.

If you put on white skin, go into a black ghetto, and start yelling racial slurs, you will get lynched. Not coming out of that one alive.
It's not called lynching though, is it?

Fundamentally "racist" southerners lynched based on exactly the same dynamics. Blacks would go into a closed white community, act antisocially, and draw the predictably lethal response. P.S. the "racists" were suspicious of blacks because the act of invading closed communities filters for particularly antisocial blacks, in exactly the same way that a white in a ghetto is likely there to cause trouble. They were treated as if they were there to start trouble, because like 50% of the time they were there to start trouble. Being present at all is prima facie evidence of mens rea.

The word has been twisted because one kind of violence is politically useful and the other kind is politically awkward. It's useful to the slavemasters if you're upset asymmetrically, and of course the slaves obediently get upset in such a way.

Early Biden-stage De-Legitimization

In the past there were lots of stories like the Wuhan lab-leak theory, but they were buried. This time it isn't being buried, because stealing the election de-legitimized the system.
Certain strata have stopped buying into the system, realized they have nothing to lose, or have a new audience of folk who have [short sold] the system, so to speak. 

Previously, those with receptive audiences who might repeat the lab-leak theory were told they were making an enemy of the system. However, they've realized the system is already their enemy. "Gonna become my enemy? But, what's going to change, though?" "Huh, with these goggles it looks exactly the same."

The Gamestop short squeezers knew they might piss off the Regime. Now they've realized the system doesn't have anything to offer them anyway. They must succeed outside and despite the hegemon, or not at all. They can't get money and prestige. Prestige is right out, but maybe they can still get money and infamy.

This is exactly why they didn't want to steal the election if they didn't have to. However, they panicked, and thought they had to.

On one hand, maybe there's some backed up demand. It hasn't been six months yet, but we can see it might peter out as Statements are Made and thus ""honour"" is satisfied. Surge in demand => surge in supply. Followed by a lull in demand, or we wouldn't call it a surge.

On the other hand, maybe it's only been six months and folk are still in shock and/or dazed. It hasn't really begun yet. Further, the system is genuinely not legitimate and everyone has seen the emperor naked. The sentiment will only spread.

Quarantine Those Infected With City

To be precise, city formation is natural but the city environment itself is unnatural and causes disease.

Because the city environment differs from the regular environment, certainly cities have unique needs which country dwellers don't understand, and cities shouldn't be run from the countryside.

However, because living in a city drives you crazy, a fortiori the cities shouldn't be allowed to run the countryside. Cities should be considered socially underwater. They need to be quarantined so their madness doesn't affect anyone outside them. E.g. city-dwelling should be a hard disqualification for involvement in foreign policy, in exactly the same way you don't try to get an ideal trade agreement from someone dying of the flu.
