<p>Men are indoctrinated against striking women, and if they do, society treats them extremely harshly. Men also strike men, but the punishment has no trace of outrage, and leaves no stigma. These attitudes are left over from the age of The Patriarchy when women had special treatment in the eyes of society as recompense for the ascendancy of men. However, modern women, in their quest for “eq...

<p>The best way to win a war is to always stay on the offensive, and a multi-front offensive is the best kind, especially against an opponent who isn't even aware they are in a battle. “Man-spreading,” the ludicrous claim that men sit on subway benches with their knees apart rather than together to accommodate tighter packed riders, is an example of keeping the opposition on the defensive by...

<p>There is a subtle aspect to collectivist thinking that liberty-practicing people find surprising: the "how does it affect you?" accusation. This question puts the liberty-seeker on the defensive to explain their reasoning for objecting to the actions of someone else, because liberty people are accustomed to the person impinging upon their liberty to provide justification, not th...

<p>The opposite of “objectifying,” which is what feminists claim men do to the female body, is “subjectifying,” which is how Identity Politics mongers gain control over others. If you can claim any gender and the accompanying paradigm that entails, disregarding biology, then you can go so far as to claim a race and heritage that conflicts with the facts. The famous example of the affluent Wh...

<p>Under the now acceptable umbrella of transgenderism, there are pre-teens saying they are the wrong sex and wanting treatment. How can a 10-year old child have the maturity to determine such a thing? 18-year olds aren't even allowed to drink but now children can change sex at age 15; paid for by The State?! There are powerful drugs used to delay puberty but the psychological tribulations o...

<p>For whatever reason, in America at least, people are very sensitive about exposing their bodily functions in public, especially to the opposite sex. Young people, still developing their maturity, are the most sensitive. For that reason we have sex-specific bathrooms. Bathrooms are gendered because society respected the wishes of its majority to be gendered. There were probably lots of peo...

<p>Sex is determined by reproductive plumbing, but gender is how a person fits in socially, and it's determined by a single biological molecule: testosterone. That's what makes the gender discussion so volatile, because people who want to be a particular gender can take chemicals to look and act like a man; simply shoot up with male levels of testosterone; and to be a woman, take drugs that...

<p>The League of Women Voters is an anachronism that hopefully fades away with the last generation. They reminisce on past discrimination and claim it as their qualifying trait for membership in today's victimhood culture. In the political arena, they project power far in excess to their relevance, almost always to the detriment of male candidates. The LOWV gained its social credibility legi...

<p>Women dominate admission in Medical and Law School, and are fully two-thirds of the Post-Graduate programs, yet women Special Interests continue to harp on their supposed under-representation in the sciences, especially engineering. They point at the parity of men and women in international science degree programs and insinuate there's some kind of discrimination in American universities....

<p>Men are subliminal experts at respect: we are immersed in it since childhood, royally kick-started in puberty, and finely honed during our formative years. Respect is not friendship, respect is not admiration, respect is not fair. Men are always considering who's Alpha in any situation, and adjusting their behavior accordingly. There's a constant battle happening behind the scenes, allies...

<p>Let's review some of the concepts we've discussed about The Right:</p> <ol> <li> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The Right accepts that an aristocratic class will deservedly arise.</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Nationalists want to maintain their national values and culture despite what Globalists may think...

<p>If you consider individual liberty, the right to make decisions for yourself and reap the rewards or suffer the consequence thereof, to be the defining issue of your ideology, and you're in The Center, believing the goal to be the most liberty to the most people; what are you going to call yourself? It seems like it should have the word “liberty” in it, and politics has the habit of attac...

<p>Commentators often talk about the mythical center in politics but it's never defined, and it's assumed that these people are the deciding factor in many elections where The Left and The Right are otherwise evenly matched. The center can be defined as several things: social center, economic center, ideological center; but often these undecided people have no clear agenda and simply vote fo...

<p>Totalitarianism is a threat from both The Left and The Right. For example, from The Left, there is a lot of historical precedence for fearing impending totalitarianism due to it being wrapped in collectivist moralizing. Collectivism demands that individuals give up their right to make many decisions for themselves, instead embracing a vague higher authority ideal. Once individuals have be...

<p>At first glance, "Libertarian Socialism," seems like a staggering oxymoron because the two ideologies diametrically oppose each other: the wants of individuals versus the needs of the group. However, it's a term useful to both Libertarians and Socialists because it can be distorted to mean whatever they want. In the case of socialists, they envision a society that they say is li...

<p>Conscientious people are attracted to Libertarian ideology because at its core it rewards the monetary success and personal achievement that comes from conscientious behavior. On the flip side, libertarians don't have much sympathy nor patience for flighty self-indulgence, and people who pay more attention to what others are doing than taking care of their own situations, which is what al...

<p>Adam Smith is the most famous defender of Capitalism. He predicted that people making decisions in their own self-interest act like an invisible hand guiding society to higher and better performance, benefiting all citizens; a rising tide lifts all boats mythology. One of Smith's contemporaries was his friend, Thomas Hobbes, who concluded that citizens must contract with a sovereign to so...

<p>On the world stage, the distinction between The Right and The Left are visible as national self-determination. Nationalism is the idea that the historical norms of a nation are important to the people that live under them even though individuals within those societies may not be on an even footing. In this context, The Right is Nationalist. In recent history, especially with the advent of...

<p>Conservatism, reluctance to change status quo, is The Right's defining characteristic. The Right are those that are benefiting from how things are, which is threatened by an evolving value system, while those who would benefit from change tend to gravitate towards each other, which creates the de facto Left. Interestingly, because the idea of individual liberty, the notion of personal res...

<p>Let's review some of the concepts we've discussed about The Left:</p> <ol> <li> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">The Left are those who think elites should make decisions for the rest of us.</p> </li> <li> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">Marxis...

<p>Communism, or more generally, Marxism, is sometimes an appropriate economic and societal ideology, at least for the short term. The primary example of successful Marxism is the U.S. Military: elites making decisions for what is the best for The State at the expense of individuals, all means of production carefully controlled with no personal enrichment, and all soldiers treated uniformly...

<p>Capitalism works because it's based on adversarial relationships, which have the advantage of speed & efficiency, and self-interest, a source of tremendous motivation. Capitalism is the economic manifestation of individual liberty, which means individual rights are paramount, and rewards benefit individuals. However, society, though composed of individuals, operates for the group's be...

<p>Socialism is the mechanism by which Collectivists implement their group-needs-over-individual-rights ideology. The driving force behind collectivism is the inheritable human trait of altruism, which is a combination of positive reinforcement by a dopamine release into the pleasure center of their brains that comes from sanctimonious behavior, and the equally powerful motivation to reduce...

<p>Political Parties in Europe seem to be an almost random combination of political terms sandwiched together into familiar sounding names that are impenetrable to understanding what they really believe: Social Democrats being a prime example. The “social” part of their name refers to the concept that Workers have a right to the fruits of their labor, while “democrats” signifies that they wa...

<p>President Theodore Roosevelt, my hero, was a "Progressive" back-in-the-day, the turn of the 20<sup>th</sup> Century, but would be called a "Liberal" today because progressive has always meant the next set of big goals, then once accomplished, progressive goals become conservative staples. Today's Progressives are the Marxists because even though their ideol...
