Conservative Morality

One of the great tricks conservatism plays on normal people is to offer up a set of false choices in response to regime morality. The ruling class comes out with some new thing and conservatives come out with new responses. One choice is something the regime has declared a fatwa against, while the other choice is allowed. The job of the conservatives is to herd their people into the acceptable choice. Often, the acceptable choice is just an extreme version of what the regime offers.

The best example is racism. Way back in the last century, elements of the ruling class invented a new sin called racism. For most of human history, everyone just accepted the fact that people were different and people liked to be around their own. This was so obviously true no one had to think much about it. The exception was when one group of people tried to move into the area of another group of people. Invasions always led to violence, which is why invasions were immoral.

For reasons no one bothered to explain, elements of the ruling class decided that it was immoral for you to want to live around people like you. Further, you were not allowed to notice the differences in people. That was this new thing called racism. For several generations now, conservatives have been trying to prove that the Democrats are the real racists. You see, the greatest conservative principle is opposing racism more than the people conservatives claim to oppose.

This desire to be more of whatever the regime is promoting infects everything nook and cranny of the conservative mind. When the regime decided sodomy was a sacrament, conservatives celebrated sodomy. When the regime decided men in dresses could stalk your children in the playground, conservative suddenly discovered a new sacred principle in favor of crossdressers. To be a conservative is to fully embrace every degenerate moral claim of their alleged opponents.

Here is a good example of how conservatism is just the extreme version of yesterday’s moral claims by their opponents. The Supreme Court is looking at two cases related to freedom of association. Students for Fair Admissions Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina challenge the race policies of their respective defendants. In both cases, the schools discriminate based on race.

What the regime has always argued is that white people have dominated the world due to dumb luck and their unique cruelty. Whether it is the exploitation of resources held by nonwhites or simply good fortune, Europeans have unfairly outperformed the rest of the world and this is immoral. Therefore, it is required that current white people be made to suffer in order to balance the scales. This is the moral claim made in all policies under the umbrella of restorative justice.

One way to even the scales is to force whites to accept nonwhites into their lives so that the nonwhites can partake in the good fortune of whites. In education, for example, the underlying assumption is the teachers in white schools do a better job teaching their subjects than the teachers in nonwhite schools. The proof is Asians, who prefer white schools over black schools. Asians do very well, so it must be that special magic that exists in white schools, but not in black schools.

In the middle of the last century, a natural right enjoyed by all humans since the dawn of time was stripped from Americans. You no longer had the right to place your body next to another body without permission from the state. Further, you no longer had the right to deny nonwhites access to your life. Effectively, what was done is the forging of a new right possessed only by certain nonwhites. That right is the right to access white people and the things they create.

The rational opposition to this is that all people, even white people, have a right to make the most of their talents. Therefore, they have the right to work with whomever they think is in their best interest. This is a foundational argument of Western liberalism and the basis for market economics. Since you own you and have the right to use your labor as you see fit, it naturally follows that you have the right to associate, or not associate, with whomever you choose.

Conservatives do not make that argument. As you see in that post, their argument is that you have no rights whatsoever. You are not even allowed to notice that people are different and posses different qualities. Instead, in order to be even more berserk about race than the most berserk member of the new religion, you have to poke out your eyes and rip off your ears. The conservative principle with regards to the human condition is to be to the extreme left of the new religion.

Of course, the moral position here is that Harvard, a private college, can discriminate however it pleases with regards to admissions. If they want a freshman class of left-handed Korean midgets, they can only admit those people. On the other hand, North Carolina is a public university and as such must admit students according to a set of rules applicable to all American citizens. That would also bar them from favoring legacies and potential sports stars in admissions.

You see, while we human beings and citizens enjoy the absolute right of free association, our government does not have that right. Otherwise, it is not our government and is instead an occupying force. Foundational to liberal society is free association and that means we collectively own the state. As equal partners in the state, the state cannot favor one group over another. Again, equality before the law is a bedrock item in a moral society.

The writer of that post is probably a decent sort. He wants to do the right thing, but he has been conditioned by conservatism to think the right thing is always the most extreme version of whatever the liberals are peddling. It is so ingrained in the conservative mind that they do not notice it. If the liberals suddenly favored wearing colorful jock straps on their heads, conservatives would be boasting about how their new headgear is the best ever.

The result of this madness is the courts will now decide if the state has a right to discriminate against white people or no one has a right to discriminate against anyone for any reason at all. Given the makeup of the courts, the most likely result will be to ban the most basic right of free association. In effect, the new rule will render citizens as prisoners in a permission state. Conservatism will have made otherwise free people into servants of the managerial state.

I’ve noticed that the names look super Indian/Arab/Pakistani/whatever weirdos in alot of TV shows and movies. Notably, Ms. Marvel and Batgirl.

Unsurprisingly, Ms. Marvel had the usual grievance politics against White people, as well as Hindus. It also just sucked and Batgirl was so bad it got canned with a loss of 100 million +.

There’s a generation gap. Boomers are terrified of being caught on camera or tape. For Zoomers, everything on the internet can be assumed to be fake, and their concern is real life. Even when politicians “admit” to some recorded scandal and then resign in shame, there’s still a sense that everything was just staged.

“Optics” aren’t real. It’s all circus funny house mirrors. Ideas matter more, and this is saying something because we know how much ideas don’t matter much. But they beat nothing.

It’s simple really: the Leftists/globalists run the show. Conservatives are controlled opposition.

I had a popular post that listed all the political slurs that the Left has for the Right: “white supremacist, racist, misogynist, islamophobic, anti-semtic, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, baseless conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer, anti-science, climate denier, election denier, and a deplorable/vile dummy who believes in the flying spaghetti monster.” These are political slurs meant to DEHUMANIZE.

Demonize—marginalize—destroy. This strategy is perhaps as old as man, but certainly predates NAZI-ism.

One demonizes a group and instills aversion from the rest of society (who wants to associate with bad people) which leads to marginalization (good people naturally avoid bad people), which in turn allows destruction (if some people are so bad as to be shunned, then they are bad enough to be destroyed and in any event “out of sight, out of mind”)

The Crypto-You-Know-Whoms ran the entirety of the Ottoman Caliphate [just as they had run the entirety of the Iberian Caliphate up until 1492], and when the Ottoman Caliphate began to crumble, the Crypto-You-Know-Whoms used the opportunity to “never let a good crisis go to waste”, and unleashed satanic hell upon their Armenian Christian competition.

Your insight must naturally follow. It’s not “if” it’s “when”.

Why is it a problem? Whites is any visible aspect of society will serve as a reminder of the inferiority of most all minorities in society. So for example, you can boost—through declining standards and AA graduation/placement—numbers Blacks into medical fields, but when those Blacks are naturally compared to their White counterparts, the gods of “equality” and “equity”… Read more »

But there is a fundamental difference between Hispanics and negroes that is almost as great as that between negroes and whites. Specifically, Hispanics, in general, are fairly immune to white-hatred and have largely resisted mobilization against whites. Blacks and whites are the two primary things. Hispanics are the tertium quid that refuses to behave in the manner the Left predicts it should.

Then there’s a very practical matter: is living next door to typical Hispanics anywhere near as intolerable as living next door to typical negroes?

It is refreshing to see that freedom of association is not forgotten. It has been forgotten by conservatives. The beauty of freedom of association as it applies to the Supreme Court is that the SC should never hear of such a case. Any imposition of association should be a criminal case with the imposer as defendant. Any complaint that, “I wasn’t allowed in there”, should never be entertained – even by the lowest courts of law.

I’m not sure you’re wrong about the tactic, but I’m also not sure you are right. For example, when some college opens a black dormitory, my instinct is to support it (And, pragmatically, more blacks in the black dormitory means fewer blacks in the regular dormitories — win-win), because then it can be used later as precedent for the White dormitory.

It *may* however do harm. My old university set up the beginnings of an all Black dormitory 20 years or so ago.

Well, about a year or two into the project, two Black females got into it with each other and one stabbed to death the other in their room.

My brother is a normie conservative. He brought up the news that VP Harris said that hurricane relief will be based on equity. (This announcement was later retracted.)

He triumphantly stated that this annoucement shows that the Democrats are the real white supremacists because it reveals that they believe that white people can survive just fine without aid. He clearly thought he had scored a huge victory with his DR3.

I sighed and told him that leftists are unfazed by charges of hypocrisy.

Excellent article. I have just one fairly minor quibble. Hence, I’m not sure that Harvard qualifies as a private university in anything but name. The monies and other subventions it receives from the federal government per annum outstrip the GDP of most equatorial African states. I don’t think any organization that is so tightly soldered to Washington DC can be considered truly private, and I imagine the plaintiff will make that case before the Supremes.

The best part of the Grutter decision was O’Connor justifying AA because it allowed rich and powerful whites a chance to be around non-whites. Given that these whites would be our future elite, we need to expose them to all the people that they will rule.
