More drivel from Substack

Fuck that

Except authoritarian government is not good, in the long term, for an economy, because of 1) corruption, and 2) misallocated economic resources, whether by arbitrary state edicts or, again, corruption.

Democracies will always perform better economically than authoritarian governments, but only when measured over the long term.

Authoritarian and directed economies can perform better over short periods of time, but inevitably fail when stale leadership runs out of ideas.

You can look at 80s Japan, 2010s China, 2010s Venezuela for examples.

Hopefully the US will diverge from the path to absolute oligarchy soon, or we’ll add ourselves to that list.

From Natural Selection’s perspective, that’s actually accurate:

NO alternative-that-can-compete is standing & competing against either Leninist-imperialism nor against fascist-imperialism…

( Tibet was extinguished by communist-imperialism, & the communists who pretend otherwise are complicit in such genocides, exactly as the fascists are complicit in their-kind’s genocides: “horseshoe” politics is an oversimplification of reality, but it is accurate in identifying that left & right both, when authoritarian, worship their-own totalitarianism. )

Why lie about the relative-noncompetitiveness of the current variations of “democracy” ( representative-republic is 1x removed from democracy, & the US, with its “electoral college”, is 2x removed from democracy )?

Making-believing doesn’t make one more likely to be alive in 3y time…

How Democracy is No Longer Possible in the Age of Mass Social Manipulation

is fact.

Either put-in-place a civil-immune-system suppressing disinformation “pathogenic” force, XOR it’ll win.

Natural Selection.
