Amazon Bans a Book About The Problems of Transgenderism, Because It's Illegal To Discuss the Downsides of Transgenderism
If Amazon, which controls most of the book sales in America, has decided to delist a book with which some of its functionaries disagree, that is an unconscionable assault on free speech. It will have chilling effect on the publishing industry and the free circulation of ideas. It must not be left to stand unchallenged.Amazon is a monopoly. Our "conservative" leaders have decided that exercising monopoly power to control other markets is not only permissible, but praiseworthy. They believe that we should have free competition, until one company "wins" and becomes a monopoly, and is then permitted to use that monopoly power to quash competition. That's literally the rules of monopoly in the children's game "Monopoly." In the game Monopoly, you are supposed to create a monopoly and then ruthlessly exploit it, and that's how you win the game. And that is how the corporate-sponsored "intellectual" class conceives of monopoly. It's just winning the game. Why would we interfere with a Winner's Prerogative? David French, who has gleefully signed up to be a footsoldier in every deplatforming campaign against his enemies, now seems surprised that deplatforming has come for one of his allies:
I hope this is a mistake @amazon. If not, then it’s absurd and unacceptable. https://t.co/d9DEb9YQly

Even setting aside your debunked slanders against your political opponents and those who host them, surely you're not so naive as to think that the censors you cheered would adopt anything remotely near your personal definition of what is acceptable speech and what is not.

If you want to see more clownsmanship from the Dispatch bitches, here's Jonah Goldberg saying he will never "fully forgive" how Ron DeSantis' campaigned for governor:
I will never fully forgive DeSantis for how he ran for Governor. But the “if DeSantis did it, it must be eeevil and stooopid” coverage is so ridiculous.
— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahDispatch) February 21, 2021
Running for governor of a sovereign state he all but vowed to be a vassal of the president and politicized his own kids as members of a cult of personality to a federal authority.

Which is why, absent intervention, they then shrink until they regain dynamism or, alternatively, die. The pressure that causes these changes is competition. This is why megacorps always agitate in favor of *anything* that harms competition. They cartelize or become a monopoly (or in the case of Big Tech, both). They lobby for increased regulation to harm newcomers or keep people from starting up in the first place. The lobby for new laws where they can get away with it. They become hyper-efficient only at erecting barriers to entry. This is why they love engaging in the "69" position with the government.
The state gets revenues and cooperative partners, the megacorps get protected from competition. It's a win-win unless you're a citizen, a consumer or a smaller businessman.

I am witnessing this live. Our company is in many ways, among the best in our region, and continues to grow.
My office mate was there from the original days. One day, after a meeting about core values and all that HR stuff, she sighed and said, "Mike (the founder, RIP) would hate this." he was a big proponent of "work hard, play hard." He loathed the corporate world. I drea the day they ask us to put our pronouns on our e-mail sig blocks. That's the line for me.

Eh, it's more bidirectional captive corruption than true fascism. In fascism, you have private enterprise so long as it does what the state says and on the state's terms. If you refuse, you get nationalized and become "public property." What he have is analogous, but it's more symbiotic (or perhaps "mutually parasitic" is a better description). But I do think "fascism" is close enough to set terms.

You want to affect change at Amazon without burning shit and shooting people? Get loud and public, protest in front of their stores and distro centers and offices. Fill out feedback forms negatively. Call, write, email customer service. Pester their executives personally.

The sad part was that the original Suicide of the West book is brilliant and lays out the future we have basically travelled. Jonah decided that he was more brilliant and produced drivel.
He starts off saying humanity has not changed foe hundreds of thousands of years. The top genetic scientists disagree. It seems even the sounds F and V are new within the last ten thousand years.
Its obvious that human iq slowly was improving, and probably reached 80-100 about 10000 years ago, making us smart enough to invent basic civilization. But there is no good evidence that we are the same as 100k years. In fact the lack of civilization anywhere argues strongly against it.

What we have is new. It resembles feudalism (or it will - it's moving that direction) but feudal systems weren't totalitarian, and ours is. What we're seeing is more like the Japanese or Korean semifascism of the 70s-90s (where the economy is dominated by the Zaibatsu/Keiretsu/Chaebol and there's widespread regulatory/state capture) with the centralized totalitarianism of the communist and true fascist states. We have our neoaristocrats and we will be the neoserfs, but the structure is pretty different from traditional feudalism and I think it might be new. The economics have been done before (largely in Asia) and the brutal totalitarianism has been done before, but this hybridized distillation and amplification of both is a special kind of horror.

The absence of a formal class system usually sees an informal one arise. The reasons are straightforward, people try to make sure their kids are successful. Therefore barriers to entry and intermarriage with peers(ideally you'd marry up but math means that it's mostly peers).

It does, but it gets more complicated when you consider the economics of the seventies. When women started entering the workforce en masse, the labor force grew by 50%-75% in less than a decade. Production did not grow that much. When the labor force grows faster than the work to be done, wages will compress. This will in turn create more labor demand so it isn't entirely zero-sum but it does result in wage compression.
But in the seventies it looked different and this effect was masked by the brutal inflation the economy experienced (and that drove a lot of women into the workforce). The inflation meant people took home more income even though in real terms wages declined as the workforce ballooned. That increase in the labor force wasn't entirely synthetic (the women's libbers agitating for it as part of the feminist agenda) and in fact the inflation that masked the wage movement helped drive the push into the workforce because people still need to make ends meet.

There's more to it than that, sadly. Purchased eBooks are in a standard format (AZW, if Amazon), but they're encrypted and have Digital Rights Management (DRM). You can back up the AZW files, but they are still DRM'ed and you can't just read them on your PC or dump them into another eReader. To strip the DRM is tricky and usually involves other software which is usually an additional cost. It does work (I have done it), but it isn't as simple as "back up your Kindle."

As opposed to non-Jews who only had to dig a hole, stick in a potato, and profit.
I was stunned by his arrogance and ignorance (and understand, that I have no problem acknowledging the fact that Jews do score higher on most IQ metrics, and are often very smart. ) my problem was with his theory that selective breeding somehow was able to avoid the selection part of the equation, and the fact that he thought farming was easy. (bloomberg echoed this in that famous speech - I always wondered if he go that idea from JG.)

Yup, Mussolini was the Father of Fascism, and said 'Fascism IS corporatism'.
Which he defined as a combination of breaking your citizens up into special interest groups, to retain political power, AND using your power over Industry and regulation to buy them off with advantages.

The irony - it burns. Not against you, Ace. Not you in particular.
I blame the Internet, in general. Back in the day - and the day was better - if you wanted to shut somebody up, you had to physically shut them up. Now ? Now you got plenty of folks that run, absolutely run, to a Mute Button. They run to it 24/7/365 - because they want to push it. Often times - they'll talk shit about how they pushed that button. They'll talk shit - online, of course - about how they're going to push that button.
Curiously - those button pushers never get the irony of all this.

IQ is a measure of potential. It's not THE measure of potential. Because if any measure of potential actually worked - we would measure and cut and sort and measure some more until the cows came home - and see a tangible benefit for our effort. Which we don't.
I will say this - Jews, as a group, tend to pursue formal education. As do the Japanese. Neither are particularly special at the card table, chess board, checker table, or any other measure of ability where the expectations are well defined and the field of battle is, quite literally, level.

Fun fact. The precursor to modern graphical interfaces was invented by Xerox for their "Alto" machines. It's user interface would look reminiscent of most UI systems today, including the now ubiquitous "Cancel" and "OK" buttons. In the earliest versions, however, the "OK" button was the "Do It" button.
The on-screen typeface and fairly low resolution, however, led to problems when users would usually misread the button (many times, until they got used to it) as the "Dolt" button.
They changed it to "OK" since it was easier to read clearly and they then found that it had the benefit of being more generic (you can use "OK" in more places than you can use "Do It").

Not meant as a shot to certain folks here. Rick, in particular, is as independent in his thoughts - and so consistent in his comments that it has to be honest - as anyone I've read. Rick is not a typical Boomer. P.J. is quite typical of his cohort.
