		<description><![CDATA[Salon says the Confederacy is reborn, and taking the Country.   Meet the Southern Autonomy Project.  

Darkness is spreading.

 The projection here is a PhD in psychology.  

&quot;For some time, the initiative has rested with the Southern power elite, which knows what it wants and has a plan to get it.&quot;  &lt;b&gt; OMG &lt;/b&gt;

&quot;The on-going power struggle between the local elites of the former Confederacy and their allies in other regions and the rest of the United States is not primarily about personal attitudes. It is about power and wealth.&quot;

		<description><![CDATA[whenever the question of &#039;post scarcity&#039; society comes up among my circles, i often point out that we have examples of post-scarcity communities in america already, such as detroit.

now one might object on the grounds that these places are also full of black people, but that rather serves to illustrate the design space: it takes a highly enlightened polity to not be negatively affected by mana from the heavens, the capacity for self-direction marks the natural nobility (for another example of reactionary insight seeping into popular discourse, see &#039;dead aid&#039;).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The idea of the &quot;Seneca Cliff&quot; is echoed by Niall Ferguson, the historian-showman, who has argued for several years that the traditional Edward Gibbons view of elegiac imperial decline is inaccurate, even when applied to the Roman Empire itself. He has written extensively on the the topic, arguing that the collapse of the Roman Empire in the fifth century was actually astoundingly fast. The aqueducts collapsed, the integrity of the coinage was lost, the armies turned and gone native.

Niall Ferguson himself is an interesting character, who could almost be identified as proto-neoreactionary. His main flaw is that he is still very committed to race-egalitarianism. But on the political theory front, he is quite impressive. He argues that the primary product of democracy in the twentieth-century was war and genocide, and that the hereditary empires of Europe were far better at the business of governing multi-ethnic states. He is also an apologist for European colonialism and the British Empire. Most recently, he has attributed Western ascendancy in history as due to science, medicine, property rights, rule of law, the Protestant work ethic, but, tellingly, not democracy or diversity. As an economic historian, he is firmly anti-Keynesian.  

In short, he is about as reactionary as one can be without being thrown out of Harvard.]]></description>
