>whoever made it know what is going to happen next.

that would assume a super-intelligence in the creators of the simulation. it could be sufficiently "random" enough so that they're unclear on what will occur, just as we are in our scientific simulations.

>>24733138
which if that were the case, would sort of negate the need for a simulation in the first place, no? so one must assume they don't have ultimate prescience in terms of outcome. i just think that a simulation inherently rules out the possibility of free will as we understand it, but i'm a retard so who knows

Honestly, I think if you humiliated the wignats enough, in a comedic manner, you could probably sell the screenplay in about 15 minutes. Hollywood gay as hell like that.

It's realistic in the sense that politically-right reactionaries really feel like that is the only solution to minor problems

What I would like is the story to be the same about when they take control of the world or just America and then they fuck up in less than a week, having a nuclear disaster due to internal disagreements because that would be exactly what would happen. This is evident if you look into the history of these white nationalist groups, them having a stable rule over society is even less likely to happen than them ever taking power.

>The Larcener tried to let a vaguely sincere expression scurry onto his face, where it froze in evident discomfort. His shrug was theatrically casual.

>“There are, ah, problems with the boy, yes. But the problems are unique to his situation in my care. Were he under yours, I’m sure they would, ahhhh, vanish.”

>“Oh. You have a magic boy. Why didn’t you say so?” The priest scratched his forehead beneath the white silk blindfold that covered his eyes. “Magnificent. I’ll plant him in the bloody ground and grow a vine to an enchanted land beyond the clouds.”

>“Ahhhhh! I’ve tasted that flavor of sarcasm before, Marko.” The Larcener gave him a mock bow. “That’s the sort you spit out as a bargaining posture. Is it really so hard to say that you’re interested?”

>The Eyeless Priest shrugged. “Suppose Janus, Cassidy and Jobe might be able to use a new playmate, or at least a new punching bag. Suppose I’m willing to spend about three coppers and a bowl of piss for the mystery boy. But you’ll still need to convince me that you deserve the bowl of piss. What’s his problem?”

>“His problem,” said the Larcener, “is that if I can’t sell him to you, I’m going to have to slit his throat and throw him in the bay. And I'll have to do it tonight.”

Research the works of Ryuho Okawa and then come back when you've educated yourself. The jews are just the tip of the dutch iceberg, my friend.

He says liberals have a tendency to allow rights and citizenship privileges to dissenters and this is why they cause instability. His suggestion is that Liberals must draw a line around what is acceptable and unacceptable, that is not only defined in constitution but also emanating from majority opinion. He basically says if you have a citizen that is a dissenter, lock him up, censor him etc.
You know what I agree. Liberalism is based on the idea of freedom, fascists and commies don’t believe in freedom so it’s totally ok to eliminate them.

That does not solve political philosophy, it solves how realpolitik works, which is politology's domain.

>but political philosophy is about how realpolitik works

No, it isn't. Political philosophy is more about what ought to be done, whereas politology is more about what is done or has been done.

> If, as Strauss suggested, what Schmitt was really working towards was the notion that all value-setting as such is political, then there was little basis from which to criticize liberalism for moralizing political conflicts. Schmitt’s critique of liberalism depended on the possibility of keeping areas of the realm of values distinct from each other. But, as Strauss observed, this is impossible if all values can become political. Schmitt’s attempt in Concept of the Political to limit the intensity of political conflicts by keeping them distinct from moral issues is thus absurd.

BTFO’d by Strauss

>>24733021
That is a notable point. Strauss may not have completely btfo'd him but his criticisms were enough to cause Schmitt to amend his work with Strauss's commentary. Schmitt dug that hole for himself by recognizing certain types of classical liberal thinkers as being more politically pure and he also cited Marx which is basically a can of worms for him since Marx acknowledged almost any means even if it's just a nod towards a theoretically bankrupt option. Schmitt is forced to acknowledge his whole view of human nature is just tautolical for the work itself and in order to prove otherwise he would have to disprove his own work. Schmitt can always just revert to Nietzsche but if that's the case then he didn't contribute anything.

Strauss likely was the fully evolved and superior theorist.

I misread his post. I thought he meant "If my other works are badly reviewed, do I make a new account?"

I would say if you're going to use slop, use it to create a "vibe" rather than definitive characters, like the obscuring his face with shadows, make the surroundings more detailed as to not call too much attention to the design itself, etc.

Yeah I have to be honest this isn't working for me. It reads with a lot of confidence and is very natural, but is written with far too little organization and has no "beauty" in its turn of phrase. I can already express myself "cleanly" in words, and I can do it with confidence if I wanted to also. The problem is merging them together perfectly
