“American liberty is being destroyed by Marxist doctrines that explain society in terms of hegemonic and oppressed groups - whether classes, races or genders - fighting for suzerainty. In these societies spun out of Marxist theorizing, good will does not exist, only the material interests of warring groups. Morality resides in the oppressed, but if the oppressed succeed in becoming hegemonic, their claim to moral supremacy evaporates.” IfsDoeFightingTermInterestRaceLibertyMoralClassGroupsMaterialsBecomingMoralitySucceedClaimsGenderDoctrineDestroyedOppressedGood WillSupremacyMarxistSpunAmerican Liberty Author:Paul Craig Roberts
“Paris is a city of centralisation--and centralisation and classification are closely allied. In the early times, when centralisation is becoming a fact, its forerunner is classification. All things which are similar or analogous become grouped together, and from the grouping of groups rises one whole or central point. We see radiating many long arms with innumerable tentaculae, and in the centre rises a gigantic head with a comprehensive brain and keen eyes to look on every side and ears sensitive to hear--and a voracious mouth to swallow.” LooksLongWholeFactsEyeTogetherSidesCitiesBrainGroupsArmsBecomingMouthsAll ThingsEarsParisSensitiveCentreComprehensiveClassificationForerunners Book:The Burial of the Rats Source: The Burial of the Rats
“There is no place for nostalgia in a progressive world. The new school not only ignores nostalgia, but condemns it.

“There'd been studies over the years supporting the proposition that groups composed exclusively of women usually made intelligent decisions, that exclusively male groups did a bit less well, and that mixed groups did most poorly of all, by a substantial margin. It appeared that, when women were present, testosterone got the upper hand and men took greater risks than they might otherwise. Correspondingly, women in the mixed group tended to revert to roles, becoming more passive, and going along with whatever misjudgment the males might perpetrate.” MenYearsWellsMadeHandsMightBitsDecisionRolesStudyGreaterRiskGroupsBecomingIntelligentMalesPassivePropositionsMarginsBecoming MoreTestosteroneUpper Hand Book:Chindi Source: Chindi
