The uplifting of the Blacks satisfies the moral condition for the pursuit of a benevolent American Global Empire.

This is a fantastic piece and the best one that you have put out yet.

It's interesting to note how much of Parsons' material quoted here reflects discussions on what constitutes an American that we've had over the years. I always argued for a procedural one for all except for the WASP founding stock.

Thanks but I'm disappointed that you didn't comment on my clickbait header. I spent dozens of minutes on it.

Succinct, and true, way of putting it.

Also obsolete at this point I think, though it was the animating spirit behind the Milley putsch. The obsolescence is what makes the whole thing so bathetic. One of the many things.

"non-ideological and non-moral forces like economic and technological innovation"

shaky dichotomy

"Enlightenment-derived American revolution on institutional attitudes toward liberty, diminished the importance of denominational beliefs themselves and created the conditions for the emergence of “common values” among protestants, Catholics, and Jews."

Liberty from what though? The Divine Right of Kings and the Ecclesiology (i.e. sociology) behind it (Catholicism) and the burden of sin (Tikkun Olam) ala Romans. The Enlightenment was a useful window dressing to rouse the French elites but it wasn't the only (or even principal) driver.

"The “Negro” community, though substantial in number, was of course excluded from the societal community."

Segregation became De Jure because it *wasn't* De Facto.

Hindsight 20/20

Parsonsism made a sort of sense at the time, at least for many of the men I looked up to. Still do but they're now with their maker. Wonder what they'd make of how it's played out.

Spectacular work. Seeing what is in front of one's nose, and not just one. Thanks for taking the time to flesh it out so thoroughly.

DR3 is the mark of the Parsonsist.

The unspoken creed of many leading men when American power was at its zenith. This was the man they despised (Trump grew up under his pulpit):

Explains a lot. They probably shouldn't have, in retrospect.

The true Magic of the Bantu is that he's the only man unhaunted by the bomb.

This is the hidden meaning of Sailer's Most Dangerous Graph.

Any data on Bantu t-levels/sperm counts?
