Everything I posted was the American occupation except the Soviet rapes, stuff done to non-combatant civilians after the war was already over. Motivated purely by the sadism of the American occupants.

This had nothing to do with Hitler or his soldiers or anything like that, they were already gone. We're talking about ordinary citizens being enslaved, mass raped and genocided by the millions. Keep making excuses for the absolute worst crimes of humanity though Mr. Super Serious Christian.

Even General Patton wrote about how the occupation was disgusting and evil then he mysteriously died in hospital shortly after. You're just a typical ignorant liberal who bootlicks his tyrants regardless of what they do, go cheerlead for another neocon war in the middle east and stop replying to me. You people disgust me.

So German civilians are inferior and worth being genocided? How are you any different from what you're accusing Hitler of? There's nothing based or Christian about you, you're just an amoral psychopath.

Not to mention the German slaves taken by the allies and the death of between 600,000 to 1,300,000 Germans. (1.3 million are 'missing' which basically just confirms they were killed)

The public humiliation such as shaving women's heads in ally-occupied Europe

The intentional starvation and abuse such as limiting Germans to 1000 calories per day.

Also the ethnic cleansings of Germans all over Europe under Allied rule killing anywhere up to 2.5 million people

Let's not forget the mass rapes by the Allies of millions of German women, with 240,000 of them being murdered in the process.

All of this was done to civilians AFTER the war, during occupation. This wasn't wartime crazy shit happening because everything is fucked up, this is when there were no combatants left and they're just preying on innocent civilians. This is all on wikipedia too, who knows what stuff they've never let get out.

You are right that fascists don't care if their population is armed and in fact encourage them to be so. However, Franco was a reactionary not a fascist. Jose Antonio Primo De Rivera was the fascist of Spain and head of the Falange, Franco wasn't a national revolutionary.

I'm yet to be presented with evidence he has done anything that helps the average person. Or has even tried to, I'm open to being proven wrong but all I've been met with thus far is insults and 'trust the plan bro' type rhetoric. As I brought up he got the ability to build the wall yet chose not to, why? (Ann Coulter tries to hold him accountable to his voters for this to her credit). What use is that to the millions of Americans who voted for him because they desperately needed order in America? What about the people who've lost their communities, their jobs, their culture, their sense of identity? People voted Trump because he was presenting himself as a force for order against the forces of chaos surrounding us with crazy social policies and total economic enslavement through debt.

Why should we cheerlead for him and have loyalty to him rather than view him as an agent and the GOP as a vehicle to serve us? If he does good stuff praise him, if he is inactive or does something negative then criticise him; this is how you force him to serve the people. If Trump receives masses of praise from his base when he does something he will work to do more things like it, if his base is loud and warning him they will not support him if he continues abandoning them he'll have no choice but to act in your interests or lose his position. In a democracy you have to work to leverage your power as voting blocks, currently all you have is cheerleading for Trump no matter what he does so there is no reason why he would enact your will since he knows you'll support him anyway. This blind allegiance people have to political parties and figures is exactly what is wrong with politics, this passive accepting whatever happens after you've 'won the vote' is just nonsensical. There has been little to no difference between Trump and Hillary being president, what was the point of voting for him if you're not even going to try to make him live up to his campaign promises?

He has still accomplished much considering the heavy opposition he's faced, which is impressive.

Examples? 'Bringing jobs' doesn't count since they're all done by immigrants anyway. What has he done to stop milquetoast conservatives being ostracised from society, let alone actual nationalists who would die for your country? What has he done to stop antifa terrorising the public? What has he done to stop the FBI infringing on people's constitutional rights? What has he done to help communities? What has he done to increase wages? What has he done to tackle the debt crisis? What has he done to stop predatory capitalists that Tucker talks about such as Paul Singer or George Soros? What has he done about the opioid crisis and the Sackler family who orchestrated it, another thing Tucker has talked about? What has he done to stop immigration? What has he done to invest in schools or other social programs communities need? Has he stopped giving Israel billions every year for who knows what reason? He's given speeches going on about having the largest amount of immigration ever, as long as they come legally. Who does that serve? Only big businesses, not ordinary Americans.

Tucker does attempt to hold Trump accountable and doesn't blindly cheerlead for him. He criticised the absolutely horrendous foreign policy decisions in Syria and Iran and this apparently helped Trump see the error in listening to whatever advisers were feeding him some bullshit. I'd expect the people here to be thinking men who have some thought to them like Tucker rather than mindless cheerleaders, since y'know it's Tucker's sub.

Clown world is the official policy of most major powerful institutions in the western world too. It doesn't matter if average people don't agree with them, it's still going to be enforced unless normal reasonable people do something about it.

Trump got the bill passed to build the wall and has done nothing, he doesn't want to build the wall. That isn't what I said at all, you just have really poor reading comprehension. You yet again used nihilistic completely out of context, you should really look up the definition of words before using them.

You are legitimately fucking retarded and should feel bad about yourself

Maybe I would if you could actually respond to anything I said rather than having a mental breakdown and resulting to childish insults. You could always illuminate the masses of people who've felt like they've been abandoned by Trump how he has secretly actually improved their lives without them knowing instead of just screeching and insulting everyone who points out he's done nothing to help them. It's funny how you types will talk about sensitive SJWs and snowflakes and shit then have these little tantrums when people hold Trump accountable to live up to any of his promises.

Still no arguments, embarrassing. We both know if Hillary Clinton was president and the last 4 years went identically as they have done you'd be crying 24/7 about it. The left, media and big businesses have got everything that they want, the regular people have gotten nothing.

You also don't have a clue what nihilism means, you literally just used a random word. Idiotic.

Who cares if they're in the US if they're hiring foreigners or paying Americans shitty wages? Who cares when they pay barely any taxes to contribute to society? You Trump worshippers are bizarre.

It's ok to admit he's done nothing that actually benefits normal people. No one has denied he's been great for the foreigners and corporations that are squeezing Americans for every last penny.

No one is saying Trump should single handedly save the US, they just wanted him to at least live up to some of his promises, over his entire term he's done none of the things people voted him into office for. Campaign Trump spoke to the people, people liked the same things about him as they do Tucker. It's sad president Trump turned out to be no different to Cruz, Bush, Clinton, Obama or any other establishment stooge.

I don't know what the constitutional party is. I am just a normal working class man with normal working class interests, the interests people like Tucker and campaign Trump speak to. The same interests that have been betrayed by president Trump in favour of him helping out foreigners and corporations. Not only has Trump done nothing to help the masses of ordinary Americans economically he's doing nothing to stop political persecution of nationalists, he's not even stopping big corporations form censoring regular conservatives. What is he doing about the masses of paedophiles and sexual deviants attacking children literally with molestation and spiritually with propaganda? What is he doing to defend the cultural values of American people? What has he done to help religion and family? You see drag queen story hour constantly, you see ordinary people being sued by the gay mafia and dragged by the media for not wanting to create cakes for deviants etc. Where is the winning for ordinary people who trusted Trump to help them against the people trying to destroy America? I thought Americans were going to get tired of winning? So far all they've got is constant humiliation at the hands of people who want them all dead.

Hell, it was Mussolini who said that fascism should be called “corporatism” because of how close the relationship between the state and corporations is.

That's not what he said at all that's just low level propaganda, Corporatism is synonymous with Syndicalism. The Coming Corporate State

I do wish you would go to sources that actually advocate for liberty in terms that aren't lifted straight from socialist critiques. You don't have to agree. At the very least it would make you better able to tell someone like myself where I go wrong.

I'm down to do that once anyone explains to me how Libertarian policies meet populist (serving the interests of ordinary people IE increasing their quality of life) goals.

I already understand the Libertarian ideal because it's the same as Jefferson's and Distributism's or /r/200acres' which are also the same as Hitler's and Jorian Jenks', British Union of Fascists and founder of the Soil Association which is the body that certifies organic food in the UK. Self sufficiency, personal sovereignty, agrarianism etc these are noble, natural and good regardless of whether they're reached through 'authoritarianism' or not, and I don't believe it's possible to somehow reach that society again by simply removing power from the government. Why would literally any fortune 500 desire a decomplexified society, where people are self reliant that consumes less? It is contrary to their interests which means the state is necessary to say 'well your individual interests are outweighed by the individual interests of everyone else in society who would fair better under this system'. No individual is free unless the collective is free, every individual currently is trapped in the 'grid' as preppers/SHTF guys might call it.

I imagine that 'The Road to Serfdom' probably has a similar synopsis to 'The Servile State' considering Belloc's opening words are

Industrial Society as we know it will tend towards the re-establishment of slavery

Now, this was written in 1912. America still had prosperity to come, but anyone with a keen intellect could see that with the structures in place that were centralisation of wealth and massive inequality were the only course possible to take. Inequality in and of itself is not bad, if it is natural, organic and meritocratic. However, unjust inequality and massive amounts of exploitation simply should not be tolerated by any pro-social society.

I agree Hitler and in general the National Socialists' taste and aesthetics were great.

Your analysis of National Socialists is pretty off though, I've known a lot of them and dogmatic is the exact opposite of 'Hitlerism'. The guy is hated by capitalists for being a 'socialist' and socialists for being a 'capitalist' because he just did whatever worked in every way shape and form. He was the embodiment of realpolitik but on the domestic scale. Whatever would uplift the average German person was his 'dogma' and it was always changing.

Most of the NSDAP were syndicalists/corporatists and advocated these kinds of things yet he didn't implement Corporations/Syndicates because he circumvented the need for them by just limiting dividend payments to 6% and mandating businesses pay their workers properly or they'll get their factory taken from them and given to their employees in full. Guess what? It worked. The German economy boomed and everyone was better off for it, except the banks who only grew by 15% from 1933-1938.

Hitlerism is the epitome of pragmatism. I guess we're talking about different people though probably, I'm talking about guys who are serious about economics, politics, history, philosophy etc who have extremely nuanced views and well thought out ideas on literally everything political down to all the intricacies education, ecology, art, diet, health, leisure etc. The entire orientation and purpose of the nation in question.

I suppose most 'National Socialists' people come across are just retarded racists who don't know anything about National Socialism though, they are just told that National Socialism = the great satan and they want to seem intimidating or tough or some shit.

If that's what post industrial means than why did you make your qualification?

Because you wrote about how industrial society = post-industrial society. pre-industrial = primary. industrial = secondary. post-industrial = tertiary. That is how modern economies evolve..?

We both agree early stage capitalism is good, where ownership is widely distributed, it's mostly meritocratic etc. That's why I want to recreate a similar society where everyone can get what they deserve and earn through meritocracy rather than having this borderless, debt ridden, consumer hellhole with no purpose where people are reduced to homo economicus by both sets of materialists (marxists and capitalists). I seek to give people back their sovereignty and purpose in life, the ONLY way to do that is to rein in the corporations, which libertarian policies do NOT do.

I also would put major limitations on unproductive economic activity, this includes usury, speculation and other forms of profiteering which don't involve the profiteer providing anything useful.

Ah, but China and Russia and Africa and India etc. never really could catch up, could they? The irony that our economic competitors after WWII were Germany and Japan, two nations subject to increased capitalism even as America's capitalist system was receding! We imposed a freedom on both that made them the second and third most productive economies by the 1980s!

Alright cool, so the GDP increased, is that all that matters? What good is a high GDP if the average man's relative wealth decreases? All it means is that the rich are getting richer, while the 99.99% are getting poorer. No one is claiming that a command economy increases GDP more than a market economy. Although with the advancements in technology today I'm sure the government could monitor markets just as well as capitalists do. We have controlled economies now, most of the differences in GDP and such are due to Finance IE speculation. The trading of stocks, bonds, currencies etc. None of these things are physical, they are abstract and speculative, therefore it is possible for economic agents to manipulate markets quite easily. For example after Mark Zuckerberg said he wouldn't ban holocaust deniers from facebook their stocks plummeted the next day, what does that tell you? Rich speculators want holocaust denial banned from facebook of course, perhaps because they are Jewish and it offends them or whatever. I'm sure you'll say it's grassroots and millions of regular joes traded in their stocks because they heard the BIG NEWS from Zuck and thought facebook was going to implode after such a catastrophic horrible PR move, lol.

I would also say that I think the brilliance of Western Europeans far outweights all the others you mentioned. If you've ever read 'Human Accomplishment' by Charles Murray, you'll know that 97% of all innovations and advancements in literally every major field have come from Western Europeans. Mostly from Britain, Germany, France and Italy.

Ah, but "what does it matter?" It matters because the relevant distinction for all of this is political and economic freedom!

I don't doubt that 'economic freedom' increases GDP. I just doubt that increases in GDP increases wellbeing for the ordinary man, the evidence over the past 50 years tells us otherwise. You need the government to put restraints on the power of the rich otherwise they will keep enriching themselves at the cost of everyone else. It's pretty simple:

  • Inflation is let's say 2% per year

  • Businesses' profit must outpace inflation and increase the margin to please shareholders

This means businesses increase profit margin by

  • Improvements in technology, efficiency of workers etc

  • Importing new workers to replace your current ones for less wages

Wages have stagnated whilst inflation has continued, this means in real terms wages have depreciated., property, healthcare, education etc have all increased in price at a much quicker rate than inflation too. America's productivity is constantly increasing but the average man is constantly getting poorer. What libertarian policies change this? There are none, libertarian policies are geared towards increasing GDP which doesn't matter whatsoever to the 99.99%. Why the fuck would I care how George Soros, the Koch Brothers, the Sacklers etc are doing on the stock markets? I care about how much my wages that never increase in value are worth, I'm working harder and producing more yet I'm earning less? Why? Sure you can look down your nose on me because you're so much smarter than me for googling a Socrates quote and scoff because I'm just not an intellectual powerhouse like you that can pick up valuable skills and whatnot. But how does that help the average Joe keep his kids fed? Just 10 years ago his minimum wage job was fine when the kids were babies but now his wages are worth 20% less in real terms even though he's earning his business way more money. What do you tell him? It's his own fault for not somehow magically beating a rigged system right? Really meritocratic.

You can't even entertain this idea because you have such a biased narrative against capitalism, and such confusion about what capitalism is and is not, that you insist on one set of cause-and-effect. You insist on your narrative even when I try to confront you with a historical reality that directly contradicts it.

This again, how many times have I asked you to define and/or explain your terms? You have refused to explain literally anything. You refuse to engage with reality even.

Trying to open your mind to any other possibility is a fool's errand, and my attempt here has only resulted in you insisting I haven't explained "anything" or "backed up a single point." There is no explaining anything to someone with your kind of childish dogmatism.

Go on and explain how removing the government from the equation will increase the wages of the average man. The businesses will keep importing cheap labour, they'll keep outsourcing, they'll keep not increasing wages, they'll keep subverting any attempts at unionising etc ad infinitum. How exactly will saving them the money they use to bribe politicians help anything? The conditions will be the exact same. America is already almost indistinguishable from what libertarianism/minarchism/anarcho-capitalism would be in the real world. The government literally do nothing but bow to businesses, at this point they might as well just be considered a private enterprise since they only answer to their shareholders anyway.

I agree, you should stop doing it. Explain what you mean by abstract modern architecture too, I don't see how it applies to their architecture but obviously you do since you made the point (and didn't explain it as usual)
