The Political Capital Savings Plan
I met Gallagher a while back. He's doing this training course for people interested in getting in to New York politics. He seems like a smart guy. I especially liked this article on political capital. It makes the whole thing quite a lot less daunting and ...

What longform piece is missing from the Mass Deportation/Remigration discussion?
Two years ago a Palladium article was written that forcefully argued that the replacement of meritocracy with DEI wasn't simply a "design decision," but was instead sowing the seeds of an unwind of complex civilization. The article escaped the Muscular Cen...

What can we learn from Chinese political theory?
A lot of threads that I saw focused on the economic differences between China and the US. However, China also seems to have its own vibrant community of political theorist, trying to synthesize something new from Confucianism, Marxism and Liberalism (see h...

The Second Dialogue between a Philosopher and a Student. Political fiction of Meritocracy
The J'Accuse people (and Amarnites in general) are up to something interesting but I don't entirely understand it. This little story starts out describing the "Examinations of the Crossworld Meritocracy", a ritualized gaokao for citizens of a future politi...

Has anyone here read F.P. Yockey's Imperium? If so, do you think it is possible to overcome cultural distortion in the current state of affairs and establish a pan-Western Empire? What do you think the world would look like in such a case?

The case for Trump's deficit-reciprocal tariff plan
I didn't get the Trump tariffs at first. It seemed like a hastily implemented half-thought economic trainwreck. Or at least that's what the stock market says. But now I think I understand some of the logic.

Trump is crashing the financial economy with no survivors. Is this OK?
I see a lot of people complaining about tariffs and stock market crash and all this. We all knew Trump's agenda was gong to hit the fake economy hard. But maybe it's hitting the real economy too, and maybe for no good reason. I have no opinion but I'm curi...

Ideology is more fundamental than *just* post-hoc rationalization
Mosca argued that every ruling class justifies itself with a political formula : an ideological narrative that legitimizes power. Raw force alone is unsustainable; a widely accepted narrative makes dominance appear natural. Internally, shared ideology unif...

This Thing Is Not Us. The imperative of cognitive separatism from the global american empire
I'm told "we" have a vital interest in defending Taiwan from China. Perhaps we do. Japan certainly seems to. I do like Japan. But then again, "we" also seem to have a vital interest in not quite letting Japan off the leash. I hear they are months from deve...

Should we read Foucault?
