Quote of the Day
Socialism kills, fast or slow. But on the way there, it makes people into dumb animals posturing and killing for no good reason.
The enemy is collectivism. The enemy is welfare. The enemy is turning humans into dependent zoo animals.
None of which will be solved by doing the same, but harder, and with different colors of skin as the all precious must be coddled.
All it will do is destroy the little that is still functioning. And make it harder to come back.
I beg you with tears in my eyes to believe civilization is worth saving. It is socialism that must be torn down. Please start working towards civilization.

The Color of Your Head – According To Hoyt
As I read it, the main point of her post is that there is a bunch of crap going on all over the world and that includes the U.S.A. A lot of people, of most any political persuasion, try to distill the problem down to skin color. That isn’t the real problem. To use an example of hers:
It’s not the skin color, you see. If it were Abigail Spanberger would be a firebrand for freedom and Clarence Thomas would be communist. Or if you prefer, replace those with Bernie Sanders and Thomas Sowell. The parallel stands. And it remains crazy.
I’ve said this before, judge people as individuals, not as a group. If you judge people as an immutable group you, in some sense of the word, are a collectivist. This will not yield optimal results. You will lose the ideas and influence of people like Colion Noir, Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams, and Thomas Sowell.
Embrace the ideas and accept the contributions of the people that make meaningful advances in our fight against socialism in all its forms.
The Party of Race makes everything out to be about race, just like they always have. It’s cover for the horrible things they like, and it’s a convenient boogeyman to unite their supporters.
They don’t even have to deny that things are bad – just by making it about race, they can keep anything useful from being about a problem, because all the proposed “solutions” aren’t solutions to the *actual* problem.
The easiest example to me on this is policing, where it’s made out to be all about race… but the police can *AND DO* kill white people unjustly and get away with it. And Asians. The problems are systemic.
But since it’s all about race, all the stuff proposed is about race, so nothing useful is done. It doesn’t help that bad-faith complaints “flood the zone”, making police supporters (and even with my honest complaints about the system, I still very much count myself as one) find it easy to dismiss the real complaints with the fake ones, making it hard to get anything done there, either.
And the different treatment of the complaints by race ALSO make things much harder. George Floyd wasn’t the first George Floyd – there was a case down in Texas a few years before George Floyd that was almost the exact same fact set, and nothing was done about it, because the guy wasn’t black. (Of course, largely, there’s really not a lot that should be done about it… person of any kind ODs on fentanyl in public, resists the police, dies of fentanyl OD. Lesson: don’t OD on fentanyl, yeah?)
Yes and no.
Yes, people are individuals, and it’s good to treat them as such. But group averages do exist, and we have pattern matching skills for a reason. Also, if all the other races / ethnicities are playing by race-team, and your race/ethnicity is not, you will lose out over time, guaranteed. Empathy and tolerance is fine, until it becomes self-destructive because it is not reciprocated. Adding low-trust, low-IQ, high time preferences people into a high-trust, high-IQ, low-time preference city / state / country is a recipe for disfunction and disaster.
Game theory says that being “nice” and cooperating scores more points if everyone does it, but tit-for-tat is needed to keep people honest. That has largely been removed from our justice system.
