Could we talk this out on the general voice.
maybe for a few minutes
I'm gonna have stuff to do later
anyone else want to hop in?
@NITRODUBS Could you join I want to understand your view
Long story short, though, there are a lot of ideas that I'm willing to entertain, and even test on a local basis, and I think that that can be sustained, so long as we retain radically free speech laws, are armed to the teeth, and have private education, albeit possibly with vouchers, so that access is sufficiently widespread so as to be electorally feasible.
I’ll hop in for a little bit
And destruction, generally, is when you begin to destroy vital parts of an ecosystem, or create noticeable or irreversible changes the general cycles of an ecosystem
My headset crapped out, so I don't have a mic, but I can listen in, lol.
Capitalism has to be restricted to protect the environment, but it's not as simple as capitalism = degenerate. The market generally provides what people demand. It's the media that is convincing people to demand vices

@Wilhelm @Jacob @NITRODUBS @TMatthews The most essential thing about identiarianism is that we're all more-or-less rational people, so as long as our political system isn't being polluted by the views and agendas of interlopers, we can essentially work out whatever disagreements we have, and adjust our approach, depending upon what proves to be successful, and what doesn't...
Well, maybe not *most* essential, but it helps, lol.
For sure. In a healthy homogeneous society, we would also have civil political debate again
Exactly.
So each country can figure out what suits its needs
...because we'll be a *we* again, rather than struggling against all of the uninvited in a prisoner's dilemma-esque, every-man-for-himself scenario.
@Jacob ...not to mention that it's up in the air, whether or not we'll even have corporations, at least in the current sense, when our laws actually acknowledge the reality that only *people* can be considered to be people.
...and I think that it's pretty telling that, as the Orania Movement in the Northern Cape province of South Africa has continued to develop more and more into a thing, the supposedly dogmatically capitalistic Boers there are very much demonstrating an awareness of the value of cooperatives and the commons.
Press P to Pat the possums.

This is the longest possible roadtrip in the world. Who will join me?
Not bad!\
@Hakujin - CA Wouldn't it be longer if you went South?
@Jacob @Wilhelm One thing that I find interesting, for instance, is the evolving structure of the Russian economy. Now, corruption is obviously much more of a problem over there than it is here, and part of that is cultural/maybe even genetic, but I think it's mostly just due to social inertia from the Soviet period. That said, though, Russia has lower barriers to entry in a lot of sectors than the States, they have a 13% flat tax on income, and a home ownership rate somewhere around 90%, but they also make sure that the commanding heights of the economy, particularly concerning natural resource deposits, are dominated by what Putin refers to as "national champions," such as Gazprom in the case of natural gas, the United Aircraft Corporation, the United Shipbuilding Corporation, and RosTech in the case of high technology, all of which are majority controlled by the state, usually with a 51% stake, and the rest of the investment covered by private capital. That way, there's ample room for free enterprise, but no sector can be seized and dominated by foreign parties.
