Over at Quora, one poster tries to make sense of why ordinary people oppose immigration, and discovers something about countries:One aspect is that a policy may be potentially Pareto optimal - meaning that you cannot make anyone better off without making someone else worse off presuming that the winners were to compensate the losers - but that's of slim comfort to you, your family, town, county, or state if you lose and the winners don't actually compensate you as the welfare economics standard suggests would be possible.Well, wait a second... that sounds like zero-sum conditions, where no one can win without someone else losing. How can we explain this? Simply put, borders exist for a reason: for anyone in a society to have anyone else comes in means a loss of what they had before, which was an ethnically-consistent society in which their group had self-determination. Each person arriving gradually chips away at their culture, values, hierarchy, and future.The writer recogniz…

Leftists fear and despise the corporation. Corporations, in their view, are bad actors who will manipulate government and control our lives, just as they do in Hollywood movies. Corporations are evil. They intend to take over completely, make us all serfs, and then convert the world into some kind of cybernetic 1984 singularity.This might worry you, but then again, Leftists are unhappy neurotics, so you take everything they say with a grain of salt. Leftists forget that corporations are simply large businesses that are responsible to shareholders instead of a single owner. They are not inherently evil, but like all individuals and all businesses, they are driven by a profit motive.However, Leftists seem to excuse them of that when the corporations in question are part of the media. A news corporation exists to tell us the unvarnished truth and hold back fascist government, which despite having been leaning Left for the last seventy years, somehow is still prone to become a hybrid of A…

We live on the edge of vast change. An older has died after fifty years of supreme power; now, it has revealed that it has failed. Even more, it has shown us that it was never sincere and that its ultimate goal is tyranny, or leadership that serves itself instead of the future of our people, our culture, and our civilization. That realization makes us turn toward those things again, rediscovering their value.Even more ominous, we are about 230 years into a system -- democracy -- that usually fails at the 250 year point. Since the French Revolution in 1789, the fortunes in the West have fallen, when we look at social order, but our bank accounts have risen thanks to our reckless use of technology. During that time, we have plundered the globe and left it strewn with human waste and litter, with its natural ecosystems weakened.During the same time we have lost much of our culture. Customs are dead, as are graceful interactions, and art and literature are pale shadows of themselves, main…

From noted African nationalist scholar Osiris Akkebala, a thoughtful analysis of the fundamental need of any group to be in control of its future and the values under which it lives:
If You Are Not Talking About The Need For Afrika And Black Afrikans Liberation, You Are A Distraction To Black Afrikan People
Chief Elder Osiris
We Black people talk about a lot of things that has nothing to do with what we need to do to change the status of Afrika and Black Afrikans living condition.
There is no benefit to having a romantic notion about Afrika and your Black self when you have no love for Afrika and your Black self, we talk a futile game playing to the will and wishes of white folks oligarchs, your enemy, Black Woman and Man!!!
Many Black Afrikans hate the fact that our Chattel Enslavement is still a topic being mention today by  a few conscious Black Afrikans, the most of us act as if all is well with Afrika and the Black Afrikan today, we have now become a full time believer in believ…
