    ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 24 Jan 2020

    over the last few weeks a kind of annoyance has been crystalizing ... or, rather, my understanding of the set of people/actions that trigger it is crystalizing the other side is "the anti-civilizational". not people, but behaviors. Some very pro-C people have anti-C behaviors

        2/ might work it up into an essay, but probably won't There are all sorts of personal moral failings, peccadilloes, sins, etc. that are, I suggest, sub optimal, but do not really harm civilization that much.

        3/ Talking about things normalizes them, and causes memes to spread, whereas just doing certain things does not. Arguably better to have two quiet alcoholics than one person writing essays about the joys of "day drinking".

        4/ So I guess I'm talking, to some degree, about a "memetic commons". But there are other ways to damage civilization. Casually using up or degrading resources for hedonistic purposes instead of husbanding them is another.

        5/ The obvious example of that would be use and damaging natural resources, but I'm actually thinking more about the Roissy / Heartiste types. On the one hand, Roissy talks about "the thousand cock stare" ... and on the other hand, he - through his actions - helps create it.

        6/ heading into EXTREME TRADCON territory here, but all sorts of actions that either lower the chances of family formation (propagandizing young women into career-and-sex over family, seducing young women for a one night stand, etc.) or delay it (propagandizing "enjoy your 20s")

        7/ meet this standard. As do other activities that coarsen the public sphere - and I'm not just talking "producing hard core pornography", but also just "casual use of F-bombs in areas that should be family friendly areas, like parks, sidewalks, restaurants".

        8/ Basically, I'm thinking about the "frontier" thread from earlier today, and how Americans got this amazing birthright of a frontier mindset, one that prizes human freedom, and human expansion. ...and how this birthright is already 90% destroyed, and is marked for death by >

        9/ the communists / hedonists. The Alternate Constitution mentioned here has already mostly won, and will likely win completely over the coming decades. ...and America, the meme, will die. https://twitter.com/relicn0cer/status/1220779175478427648 …

        10/ And I guess my point about anti-civilizational activities is that a lot of folks who I think of as pro-civilization, in broad strokes, actually de factor propogandize anti-civilizational memes. It's all well and good to say "people should marry, have kids, * home school em"

        11/ ...but if the next tweet in the sequence is "mumble mumble polycule in your 20s / building my harem / of course no one saves money in their 20s because spending all that money on drugs / whatever", then the second tweet normalizes a bunch of anti-Civ stuff / propogates memes

        12/ so, kinda despairing [ even tho I shouldn't ; sorry God ] about the continuation of western civ, and blaming a fair bit of it on hedonism, and arguing, I guess, that quiet hypocrisy is better than loud total transparency. Would be ideal if we all acted pro-Civ all the time

        13/ but failing that, hedonism in the sheets and virtue in the streets would be second best. "Hypocrisy is the compliment that vice pays virtue".

        14/ Attacking hypocrisy was a way for post-Christians to get Christians to stop defending their ideals. Very clever. It worked.https://twitter.com/Saradin1337/status/1220789902612279297 …

        I keep meaning to expand on this-- but somewhere along the way, hypocrisy became the chief sin. It's really where Progressivism has diverged the most from Christianity.

        Christianity is, on some level, organized around hypocrisy, because we hold to an ideal we KNOW we can't reach. Look at marriage, many marriages are not great. There might be infidelity, arguments, etc.

        16/ In fact, "being your authentic self" is the polar opposite of civilization. Romans understood this, mocked the Greeks. Read The Illiad. Greeks idolized personal valor and, basically, egoism. Individual action, headless of consequences for others.https://twitter.com/Saradin1337/status/1220790468361048065 …

        But we always held it was better to keep the marriage going, even if it didn't live up to the ideal. But rather than tolerate that level of hypocrisy-- the advice changed to "be your authentic self" "be you", etc.

        17/ I don't want to say "Let 'Shut the !@# up and do your duty.' be the whole of the law", but ... it should be a decent sized chunk of the law.
