Sarge's friend reports that gangs in Sacramento are polyethnic -- is this so, or are different monoethnic gangs making alliances with one another while preserving their identities within the gangs?
Does Mr. Buchanan truly hold a nationalistic conception of the U.S., or if he is merely speaking this way because this is what the majority of his audience accepts. He quotes John Jay: “Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people — a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion … very similar in their manners and customs …”
Maybe Jay was exaggerating. Maybe he really believed this. But could it be that he was wrong, as the consequences of sectional differences would show? I think the weakness of Buchanan's analysis and recommendations is that he accepts the nationalist conception as a starting point. His solution has to be directed at the United States conceived as a single nation-state. His solution does not allow for local communities to sort their affairs out, even if it may seem proper for Anglo-Americans to require that English be the official language, and so on. Extreme tribalism, that which is based on color alone, may not be a morally adequate answer, but a tribalism that is based on family and local connections, as well as the possession of a common culture, is necessary for the promotion of cohesiveness and identity (and resilient communities). But I do not expect there to be a single identity to encompass all of these united States, since I do not think there was one to begin with.
I may just wait until it hits the discount bookstores, like Edward Hamilton or Labyrinth, or a third-party seller at Amazon.

Reality TV that might be helpful?
A comment at IMF:
Till Debt Do Us Part
Princess
A couple shows from Canada have been exposing the entitlement mentality of modern western women, namely “Till Debt do us Part” and “Princess” on Slice.tv.
They consist of a straight-talking accountant/financial planner who comes in when the subjects are nearing financial disaster, due primarily to excessive materialism, shallow lifestyles, and bad planning.
The best part of the show is watching the faces of the subjects go from smugness to emerging awareness to a realization that they are pretty horrible people who used others over and over again.
Good shows to watch, at least until feminists somehow declare it too truthful as to female narcissism, and get it pulled.
Till Debt Do Us Part
Princess
I've noted before that the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist were starting work at Marin High School. They have other missions in Northern California. In their latest letter soliciting donations, Mother Assumpta Long writes of their future plans for expansion: "We are now looking to build at least one additional Priory in another part of the country - which will allow us to accommodate up to 100 new vocations and, at the same time, begin the long prayed-for nationwide expansion of our apostolate in a permanent way." Their website talks of the sister's hopes to build priories in California and Texas.
The letter brought to mind this post I wrote on Catholic fundraising and the question I raised of whether it could be continued in the long run with a fading economy. God provides through individuals, but they must first be able to gather a surplus from which they can donate to the Church. Can religious orders that depend primarily on donations from the faithful transition toward being supported by a local community before relocalization happens with local communities? Or are they stuck relying upon a national base until the transition occurs?

Maximos has been long gone from What's Wrong with the World; he hasn't updated his own blog for a long time. I don't know if he left a farewell post or comment, but it had been apparent that his views on economics and many other issues diverged from those of many of the other contributors (the exceptions probably being Jeff Culbreath and Paul Cella). The thread Down with Free Trade reveals that many of the contributors are liberals when it comes to their understanding of the political community, and of economics and its relation to the other practical sciences. I will go back from time to time to read Mr. Culbreath's posts, but there is very little to be gained in spending time there, as I do not identify with the "traditional conservatism" espoused by most of the others.

Insight Scoop: Teresa Tomeo talks about...
It seems like that this book wouldn't really add much to what people like Leah Darrow or Maggie Gallagher already say against the sexual revolution and/or feminism. So does Teresa Tomeo go far enough in her criticisms? Does she put the blame solely on certain parts of the ideology, or does she go after all of it and its appeal to narcissistic women, or women affected by original sin? This is not merely a problem of ideas, but of character.

What would Mencius say about this?
A modern analogue to the child falling into a well... this video of a child being run over by a car in China has been circulating on Facebook. A virtual friend in Australia who herself is originally from Guangdong first brought his to my attention. Would Mencius doubt that people are innately good? Or is the seeming inhumanity of those present a result of cultivated indifference? I tend to think that this is the case, that in a megapoleis in which virtue and communal life are not promoted, this is the result. Of course, having an atheistic regime which regards human life as cheap ruling the country doesn't help either. Things might be better in the rural areas of China. If one wants to know why I don't bother looking for a wife in one of the cities of China, this is a reason. (Chinese city women, from what I've seen and read, are also materialistic and craving alpha attention. Are they worse than Russian city women?)

The New Singleness by Maggie Gallagher
The author is still the president for the Institute for Marriage and Public Policy. She doesn't put the blame on the men entirely, and it is difficult to dispute her claim that there has been a decline in manhood. Is there more to the problem than the notion that "sex should be fun"? What about women's expectations regarding marriage and spouses?

A different model for training priests
I was talking about this with MB again when I visited him in Yonkers, so here is a restatement of our discussion. I won't address the issue of clerical celibacy/continence, but if the rule were ever relaxed for the Roman rite at least to the extent that married men could be ordained to the priesthood, would their becoming priests not only solve the problem with the shortage of priests but also address other problems as well? Would this be a restoration of the practice of the early Church, choosing for ordination to the presbyterate qualified and holy elders of the local Church? This option presupposes the stability of communities so that the candidates are familiar to the faithful, even if there is no formal nomination process for the faithful.
It is likely that older candidates would have more emotional and spiritual maturity, and more experience from which they could give direction or address various pastoral issues. (However, age alone will not help those men who have been too emasculated.) They could be trained in philosophy and theology through a longer apprenticeship, after retiring from the secular world. They would still rely upon the community for support, unless it were permitted for them to hold another job. But that would require a very different sort of political economy than what we have today.
I would not say that this is the ideal model of ordaining men to the priesthood (though it is somewhat the model used by Opus Dei). But perhaps it could be used to supplement the normal selection of younger candidates, who go through the seminary. How old would these men be when chosen? Mid-40s or late 40s? Or their 50s? It might be preferable that the majority of their children had become adults. How much time spent in the exercise the priesthood would make the investment of community in such candidates worthwhile? And how early in the process could they become transitional deacons? (This underscores the importance of getting people to take better care of their health and become better informed, so that not only do they live longer but they are healthy, fit, and mentally sound longer as well.)
I believe that Aristotle, in his Politics, recommends that it should be the elders of a community who become devoted to divine things, including performing worship of the gods, once they have retired from the active life. Does this have some resonance with the practice of the early Church?
If older married men could become priests, would their discernment process be as difficult as it is for those who are considering celibacy?
Is there still a place for high school seminaries in the Latin rite? Candidates for the dioceses and the orders (for example, the Jesuits) tend to be older these days, and they have some life experience, but do they really have the maturity? Or a properly formed masculinity?

I think the premise for the show is rather dumb, since you can't really compare the skills of a historical group in the abstract. It's something armchair generals might do or bored geeks who don't do any real combat training. The technical illustrations for the show might appeal to some men, though. Couch potatoes.

Some Korea items
Korea Times: Pondering future of traditional 'hanok' villages
AllKpop: Lee Young Ae Graces Cover of Marie Claire Korea
Some anecodotal evidence at a certain notorious PUA blog:
AllKpop: Lee Young Ae Graces Cover of Marie Claire Korea
Some anecodotal evidence at a certain notorious PUA blog:
I’m in Korea right now. What shocks me (even compared to when 6 was living here 5-7 years ago) is the profound change.
First, Koreans have almost no children. A couple might – might – have one child. The birth rate is so shockingly low that the population of ethnic Koreans is literally dive-bombing. Combined with emigration (a lot of smart Koreans want to get out – life is here brutal for most), ethnic Koreans are just not having children. At all.
Hordes of women aren’t getting married or having babies. There are record numbers of unmarried 35-55 year-olds. Many of these have never married, I’m not sure how much, but scores of them. The women don’t want to breed. Why?
- Suitable men are absent. The men are feminized, women have huge amounts of economic power on their own, and “dating up” is difficult: the working life for men is a savage grindstone that literally wears men out; they run like athletes just to stay in place, and most don’t quite make it. They have nothing to offer women who want a stable life. And the increasing power of women makes them often the equal or superiors of men.
Large numbers of women are having affairs with married men with means and moxy. Single guys go virtually unsexed. Their options are almost nil.
- Life is without recourse: One lost job can bankrupt a family. There’s no social safety net. No state pension scheme. Have kids – risk bankruptcy.
This means a comfy welfare state that would at least allow the same-ethnicity lower classes to breed doesn’t exist. If you’re not wealthy, and you take on the expense of a child, you may utterly doom yourself.
- Focus on success and education: The narrow focus on education and success means that kids are crushingly expensive. Men and women literally work themselves to death to pay for a series of classes, special exams and trips abroad to learn English.
Upshot:
No babies.
No woman wants to marry a farmer, so the farmers are required to go afield – to Vietnam, Cambodia, anywhere – to get a wife. Any wife. Just some girl willing to live in rural Korea. This means that the countryside is literally brimming with Phillipinas and Vietnamese and SE Asians.
These men have no choice.
The increasing power of women has made them unwilling to have anything to do with men who aren’t handsome, well-moneyed and with decent, stable jobs. And even then, having even one child can destroy the family.
With increasing female power has come divorce – now rending families and devastating the social fabric.
In this maelstrom, incidentally, it’s prime pickings for any Western guy who wants to date attractive women.
So ponder this, people. The US started down this road decades ago.
Either Korea allows immigration or it profoundly alters every social movement that has ripped it since 1975 or or forces people to breed at gunpoint.
The lack of babies is literally mass national suicide over here. The stats don’t lie: Korea is literally vanishing.
China’s not far behind, ironically, though with 1.7 billion more or less ethnically Chinese types in mainland China alone they’ll be able to absorb some demographic collapse.
The last factor is the elite in Korea. Almost all of them are American-educated. They value all things American, especially knowledge, over everything else. Liberal and marxist bullshit has driven itself deep into the Korean psyche.
What Kim Il Sung utterly failed to do, Harvard accomplished neatly.
Instead of lying about their intent to marry, couldn't men just demand that women have the same amount of savings and debt before they even talk about marriage, and that she be obligated to contribute an equal share to paying for the house, not just expenses? Women shouldn't complain if they want real equality -- 50% of burden of providing should be on them.
