Reformers see a problem and want to fix it. You may not agree that the problem is a problem and you most likely don’t agree with their solution and you may strongly suspect their motives, but at least the reformer is working with and within the system to fix the system. They’ll run for office, work for a lobbying company, take part in a protest outside the state capitol. It may be effective, it may be pointless, it may be annoying to others, but our society is built to take it.

Revolutionaries are different. They want to destroy the system. Sometimes they see a problem and decide that the system is too broken to fix and must be torn down. Sometimes they’re just wreckers who want to tear everything down because of their own mental problems. Sometimes the revolutionaries are in it for the money, being paid by outsiders to bring down their own system.

Some are more profiteer than revolutionary. They think that the destruction can be controlled and that they can buy up the pieces and profit when stability is rebuilt.

And then there are the simple thugs. They have no philosophy. They’re in it for the looting and raping. They’re not revolutionaries, just criminals.

These groups have different motives and sometimes have different tactics and different effects.

I don’t care. They are all working to destroy society.

They are all traitors.

They want to destroy our high-trust society and the rule of law.

They also want to hide behind the rule of law when they’re caught. They want trials and to have their lawyers provided by foundations with undisclosed funding. They expect that the police will keep them safe even as they’ve been calling for the murder of police or CEOs. They’re counting on the system to protect them from the consequences of breaking the laws they don’t respect.

Revolutionaries, in all their hateful varieties, do not deserve the protection of the laws that they subvert. They should receive a brief hearing and if the preponderance of the evidence shows that they are attempting to overthrow the law, they are to be stripped of the protection of law and dealt with like any other insurgent in a nation at risk. And collective guilt is a thing. Dress up in the Antifa uniform, get a bullet in the head even if you never assaulted anyone.

I don’t think that these recommendations go beyond what most Americans would support. Americans who are not revolutionaries or terrorists or supporters of either, at any rate.

Now let’s go beyond comfort zones.

Stopping the paid rioters and the ideological revolutionaries isn’t enough. So long as the funding and the organizational structure remains in place, new mobs can always be formed. New patsies will pop up to try to assassinate Supreme Court justices.

Political cover needs to be removed just as surely as the funding sources. Every city council which declares that their city is a sanctuary city is a criminal supporter. Every judge who sets pocket-change bail for murderers.

If a prosecutor declines to press charges against the 25 arrested rioters who were part of a mob which caused fifty million in damages, he needs to be viewed as part of the insurrection. Give him a hearing just like the other revolutionaries.

The same goes for the journalists, talking heads, and academics who create an environment in which a formerly law-abiding member of the public is more likely to join a revolutionary group or to act violently himself. “Stochastic terrorism” is the term used in the counter-terrorism community. It refers to public rhetoric against a group or against society itself, repeated often enough to act as low-level brainwashing. It increases the likelihood of people acting violently, even with no orders given and no specific individuals being identified in advance.

In other words, exactly what we have, with the primary identified enemies being Republicans and Whites. (And the secondary enemies being men, heterosexuals, and Christians. The people who built the society currently being torn down.)

I have no moral problem with putting five dozen activist judges, “studies” professors, militant Mohammedans admitted under dubious refugee claims, and agitators-with-a-byline up against the wall and shooting them.

There are practical problems, though. Patriotic Americans can’t rely on any police forces to arrest the rogue prosecutors and the propagandists. They barely manage to arrest rioters looting stores during mostly peaceful protests. Individual police officers or sheriffs or special agents may be patriotic, honest, and courageous but departments follow the political winds or the paymaster of the officials and cannot be trusted.

The same goes, more strongly, for turning the suspects over to the legal system for the hearings. There is almost no chance of a judge finding another judge to be a traitorous revolutionary not deserving of legal protections.

That leaves patriotic Americans to seize suspected offenders and to form citizens’ tribunals to judge them. Or individual patriots to act by themselves if they don’t have people they can trust to work with.

And at this point, the patriots trying to save our society look a lot like the revolutionaries trying to destroy it. “If you argue with an idiot, bystanders may not be able to tell you apart.”

As I said, it’s a problem.

About all I can say about that is that history is written by the winners.

And that patriotic Americans are currently on the way to losing. It’s impossible to win when only one side is fighting.

Losing sucks. Try to make sure your side wins.

I thought of the best reason of all for the US to grab Greenland: Interment camp.

In particular, interment camp for illegals from warm countries. We build a camp north of the Arctic circle, near enough the ocean that polar bears can serve as guards. Provide enough fuel that they can heat their quonset huts to 50F over the winter, or to 75F for half of the winter, their choice.

Sure, we could do the same in Alaska, but that wouldn’t cause enough outrage.

Greenland Territory: protectorate of the United States. An idea whose time has come.

When you have one problem, you have to solve it.

When you have several problems, sometimes you can use them to solve each other.

Most pharmaceuticals are tested on animals before they’re tested on humans. Some people have ethical problems with this; I won’t judge you for your beliefs on this either way. Unquestionably, though, there are medical problems with this. Animals are not humans, by definition. Some drugs work the same on mice as on humans. Many don’t. And when testing moves to the human stage, side effects are often found which did not show up in the animal models.

Somewhat related to this, some drugs have different effects on different people. I’ve seen it myself, in which someone I knew had some condition and was getting worse and worse. The doctors went through the standard protocol: Try Drug A. Try Drug A with Supplement B. Try Drug C. Nothing was working. The patient then got a gene scan and about two minutes after receiving it the doc called and said that we need to go with Drug Z. A week later, the patient had visibly improved.

This applies to groups of people as well, ethnic groups and especially racial groups. Whole classes of drugs have different effects on blacks as on Whites, or don’t work at all. This is a real problem for doctors and patients. It’s a bigger problem because historically, most drug testing has mainly used White subjects. This is not because of racism but because almost all pharma research is conducted in majority-White nations and Whites are the most available test subjects. Attempts to solve the problem by actively recruiting black test subjects are doing little good because the blacks won’t step up and volunteer.

That doesn’t stop the complaining and accusations, of course. It’s a problem.

Another problem is the number of people who do not contribute to society. Even if we ignore the parasites who simply consume unearned resources, we have a problem with predators who not only harm individual victims but damage the structure of society. We can put them in prison but at best that converts them into parasites, requiring vast resources to keep them there while they contribute nothing.

Making that worse is the racial component. Blacks are grossly disproportionately represented in the prison population. Solving this problem will be challenging, if it can be solved at all, because of claims of racism, the positive feedback loop of dysfunctional urban culture, and innate human differences.

All three of these problems are challenging to solve. People have been working on each one for decades, with little progress.

But they’ve been looking at their problems in isolation.

We can completely eliminate animal testing by using only human subjects drafted from the prison system. About a third of US prison inmates are black, which should be plenty for researching the differences in drug effects. The parasites and predators will finally be contributing to the society they’ve been taking from. Everyone who matters wins!

Australia vows tougher gun laws after Bondi Beach terrorists killed 15 people at Hanukkah celebration

Makes sense. Australia put in tyrannical gun-grab laws almost 30 years ago, virtually guaranteeing that the law-abiding subjects will be disarmed and wholly dependent on the police to protect them.

Right. There are pictures of at least two (female) Australian police officers standing with their hands up near the massacre and one of a (probably female) Australian police office hiding during the shooting.

So of course the tyrants sing the same note as always: we need to crack down even harder on guns!

And of course there is no word of expelling the demographic which is by far the most likely to perpetrate massacres (and rapes and one-off murders).

Australia’s leaders are either too stupid to understand crime statistics or they are deliberately inflicting the invasion on their disarmed populace.

If they’re stupid, then they should not be allowed to manage their own finances or other adult decisions.

If they’re doing it deliberately, then they’re traitors and should be executed.
