Do not ignore the role social class plays in higher education’s broken culture

University trustees are successful and wealthy individuals in business or entertainment with prior connections to their universities. As individuals, they are the remnants of America’s aristocratic Nelson Rockefeller Republicans – those lukewarm socially liberal, fiscally “conservative” left-of-center moderates – who preserve their privileged position in American society collectively as stewards of the now-progressive elite sensibility and cohort that dominate media, higher education, and the Obamas’ social diaries.

Czechia is experiencing an unprecedented birth rate decline
Raise taxes, and people save money by having fewer kids. Implement diversity, and many decide the future is terrible and cease breeding. Liberate women, and they start having babies fifteen years later than they would normally, so they have fewer.

The question of falling birthrates is the same question as drug abuse, alcoholism, suicide, and other self-destructive behaviors. We are liberated from the Kings to hate ourselves for not being born Kings.
Trump threatens tariffs and sanctions on Mexico for ‘stealing’ water from Texas farmers

As we told you… Trump is a moderate. He is just fixing what we blew off while high on the WW2 mix of propaganda/socialism/militarization and the civil rights agenda. He wanted to make tariffs normal so he blew everything up then went to a fallback position and, in the end, he just owned China by tariffing them highly and causing them to invoke retaliatory tariffs at an insane level.

‘Toxic cocktail’: almost 200 pesticides found in European homes

Putin’s Pursuit of a New Yalta

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 12:45:25 +0000

Putin’s Pursuit of a New Yalta

Paul Craig Roberts

Kiev breaks energy ceasefire five times in 24 hours.

And these violations of the agreement are on top of previous violations.

So why is Russia complying with a non-existent ceasefire?

If Kiev will not comply with a partial ceasefire, why would Kiev comply with a full ceasefire?

How can Trump expect Putin to agree to a full ceasefire when Ukraine? Washington? NATO? Will not comply with a partial ceasefire? Why is Trump destroying Putin’s confidence in the negotiations with threats of more punishments for Russia?

Sometimes Trump sounds like Hitler, who trying to keep German war morale alive boasted of “super weapons.” Trump is claiming American super weapons “unlike anything the world knows.” Is there a neoconservative mole in the Trump administration encouraging Trump’s use of threats to prevent a peace agreement?

Moreover, who is not complying? Kiev or US/NATO? According to the CIA confession published in the NY Times, it is Washington’s war with Russia, not Kiev’s war. Washington calls the shots, not Zelensky.

In my opinion, Putin is complying with a broken agreement because he is trying to use the conflict to arrive at a Great Power Understanding like Yalta, an unrealistic hope that prevents a Russian victory.

National Socialism Embraced Privatization

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 10:32:37 +0000

In an interesting historical side-note, Nazi privatization of big firms enabled a growing middle class, despite being too late to escape the crushing weight of the bureaucracy:

The state took over a large industrial concern, large commercial banks, and other minor firms. In the mid-1930s, the Nazi regime transferred public ownership to the private sector. In doing so, they went against the mainstream trends in western capitalistic countries, none of which systematically reprivatized firms during the 1930s. Privatization was used as a political tool to enhance support for the government and for the Nazi Party.

Interestingly, the Nazis announced this intent in their 25 points:

16. We demand the creation and maintenance of a sound middle-class, the immediate communalization of large stores which will be rented cheaply to small tradespeople, and the strongest consideration must be given to ensure that small traders shall deliver the supplies needed by the State, the provinces and municipalities.

In doing so, the Nazis made the same mistake that Europe continually makes but the Founding Fathers in the USA did not: they create market forces through government, instead of removing government so that culture and market forces can make a society.

The bureaucracy — like religion, ideology, and popularity — becomes a proxy for healthy life, instead of simply getting out of the way or being suppressed by culture such that healthy life can organically arise as it does before government.

Big Beautiful Budget...Or Ugly Spending Death Spiral?

How Diversity Caused an Invasion of Europe

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 10:32:52 +0000

Diversity means more than one ethnic group in the same nation, even if the groups share a religion. Most members of each group act for that group alone, which requires that they displace other groups, and in this competition, disunity flourishes and society falls apart.

In ancient Spain, diversity tensions caused a Muslim invasion:

The rapid success of the Islamic forces can be explained by the fact that Hispano-Visigoth society had not yet succeeded in achieving a compact and homogeneous integration. The Jews, harassed by the legal ordinances of Toledo, were particularly hostile toward the Christian government. Moreover, the Muslim conquest brought advantages to many elements of society: the burden of taxes was generally less onerous than it had been in the last years of the Visigoth epoch; serfs who converted to Islam (mawālī; singular: mawlā) advanced into the category of freedmen and enrolled among the dependents of some conquering noble; and Jews, who were no longer persecuted, were placed on an equal footing with the Hispano-Romans and Goths who still remained within the Christian fold. Thus, in the first half of the 8th century, a new society developed in Muslim Spain.

Jews, Christians, and class warfare by serfs enabled a great success for foreign armies. We run the same risk today.

DEMOCRAT HYPOCRISY IS NOTHING NEW

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 22:50:18 +0000

For release: 04/10/25

That was then, this is now

By Cal Thomas

Tribune Content Agency

“Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them … well, I have others.” – Groucho Marx

Guess who said this: “China takes total advantage of the United States. They steal our intellectual property using cyber theft. Not only do they steal our intellectual property, they keep our good companies out, and say the only way you’re going to be able to sell your American products in China … is if you come to China, make them there, and give us the techniques and intellectual property.”

Elon Musk? Nope. President Trump? Wrong again. That was then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer(D-NY) in a 2018 radio interview. On another occasion that same year, Schumer said: “I’m closer to him (Trump) on trade than I was to either Obama, a Democrat, or Bush, a Republican, because we’ve got to get tougher on China. … But the president and his team have to stick with it, be strong, and not sell out for a temporary purchase of goods without addressing the real issue: the theft of American intellectual property which will cost us millions of American jobs in the long run.”

How about this one: “In terms of tariffs, it’s interesting to note that the average MFN (most favored nation) tariff for Chinese goods coming into the United States is two percent, whereas the average MFN tariff on U.S. goods going to China is 35 percent. Is that reciprocal?”

Same list of choices? Wrong again. That was Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in 1996.

One more: “It’s also proper for advanced economies like the United States to insist on reciprocity from nations like China.”

That was President Barack Obama speaking in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2018.

What changed and caused many Democrats who previously favored tariffs to now excoriate Trump over the tariff policies they once supported? Why, politics, of course. Politicians can change positions faster than they can change lanes.

On Wednesday, the president announced a 90-day “pause” in his implementation of tariffs. China was the lone exception as the trade war with that communist country continues.

The stock market reacted swiftly. The Dow Jones Industrial Averages immediately jumped by 2,500 points. NASDAQ rose 10 percent. The Dow is still 2,000 points under where it was when Trump first announced his tariff regime, but the market’s quick response should calm especially retirees with modest investments in their 401k accounts.

Some financial analysts believe Trump has the upper hand with China as that country’s economy is anything but strong. China’s leaders don’t want to lose face with the U.S. and if President Xi Jinping mishandles this war his leadership could be threatened.

President Trump might consider a nationally televised address in which he would explain in simple terms his goals and how all of this will play out.

So far all this razzle-dazzle hasn’t resulted in any foreign nations, especially members of the European Union, reducing or dropping their tariffs against U.S. products. They appear to be waiting to see what develops. They are not alone.

Liberalism, the political theory of the ascendant bourgeoisie (which can be partially understood today as the Professional Managerial Class, PMC), long ago lost the capacity to explain events in the world of the welfare state and the multinational corporation…politically bankrupt, liberalism is intellectually bankrupt as well…What looks to political scientists like voter apathy may represent a healthy skepticism about a political system in which public lying has become endemic and routine.

The logic of individualism to the extreme of all against all, the pursuit of happiness to the dead end of narcissistic preoccupation with the self. Strategies of narcissistic survival now present themselves as emancipation from the repressive conditions of the past, thus giving rise to a cultural revolution that reproduces the worst features of the collapsing civilization it claims to criticize.

As Huntington noted, people need something more to believe in than themselves. The crisis of individualism in the West occurred with the rise of the middle class, and capitalism has nothing to do with it. High taxes that drove out the aristocrats? Unions that made domestic production impossible? Diversity that savaged culture? Meritocracy that created an educated caste of eggheads?

The Uniparty exists because benefits must be protected, and that requires more warm bodies, so diversity is protected, which causes events like the coalition between Center-Right and Center-Left to exclude the ethno-nationalist AFD in Germany.

Trump’s Gulag Archipelago
Slibs fear that Trump may repatriate people who have American citizenship papers simply because those people are of the wrong race. These slobs do not understand that people worldwide viewed diversity as a government program which was accepted on the basis of certain promises, like that it would keep entitlements intact, and it has now fully failed in the US, UK, and EU so we want it ended and the mess cleaned up, which means remigration of anyone except the mono-ethnic founding population. Sorry, but the Irish and Italians have to go too.

Pluralism keeps getting more complicated. Sanity means adaptation which means realism plus a transcendent goal, which leaves out the neurotics who then seek to complicate, obfuscate, obscure, confuse, and vandalize everything.

That was then, this is now

“Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them … well, I have others.” – Groucho Marx

Same list of choices? Wrong again. That was Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in 1996.

One more: “It’s also proper for advanced economies like the United States to insist on reciprocity from nations like China.”

That was President Barack Obama speaking in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2018.

One hopes, especially for the sake of senior retirement funds which have dropped like a rock, that tariffed countries will negotiate lowering or eliminating theirs on the U.S. An initial good sign came Monday from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: “We have offered zero-zero tariffs for industrial goods as we have successfully done with many other trading partners. Because Europe is always ready for a good deal. So we keep it on the table.”

Meanwhile, there is something else Trump should do.

The president should address the nation from the Oval Office in primetime. He might remind Americans of Franklin Roosevelt’s famous line in his first inaugural address near the beginning of the Great Depression: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” This is nowhere close to a depression, he should say, but an attempt to fundamentally re-set the world economy which is not working in America’s interests.

Don’t ad-lib or repeat yourself as you do when you go off-script in your speeches. Be serious. Be confident. Don’t make it about yourself, but about all Americans. Note that the U.S. no longer produces drugs in this country, but has outsourced them all, mostly to China, and that puts American lives and American interests at risk should those nations decide to no longer ship drugs to us. Quote Democrats who were for tariffs before they were against them. Convince the public it will be better for everyone if we endure this relatively brief rough patch. Transitions can’t be easy, but the outcome can produce good results if we stick together and do not falter.

If Trump’s tariffs are a short-term tactic to achieve reciprocity with other nations, and they work (long term they have been shown to have negative consequences) – his critics will again be proved wrong. If he fails, Democrats will likely win the next two elections and nothing will have been solved.

Speechwriters, get to work.
