Is an amoeba sentient? If it were, then ever cell in our bodies should be sentient too. As a panpsychist I think everything has perception and appetition, even the inanimate things, but that doesn't mean they should be given anything more than aesthetic consideration when deciding whether to destroy them or not.

Nevertheless, government policies have worked in the past. The government has built bridges and dams, has it not? So why could it not stop undesirables from entering the country if it chose? You're going the other way on the pendulum by talking as if government policies always lead to zero good results, when that's obviously not true.

Oh, virtuous values, okay then.

You must admire Stalin and Mao, then.

Right, so the Leader somehow convinces his retinue that he means business when it comes to enforcing the Law. An arm-wrestling match or something. Maybe they play Twister. "I mean it! Rrrrr."

A mouse might love and be loved by its mousemates, and be autonomous in what to chew and where to defecate, with knowledge of its burrows, a nice caché of seeds and dead bugs, and authority over its children. Are you no better than a mouse?

Neither am I sure of what you mean when you use terms like "question of will" and "strong will".

You can live and die in perfect ease, and never once notice anything about you, including beauty and virtue, nor once contribute to something of greater worth than yourself.

Are you saying that ending the flow of unwanted immigration into the US, or the West as a whole, comes down to a staring contest between our leaders and their cabinet or party members?

No. As a Catholic I would counsel my wife against having an abortion, but I can't in good conscience allow a non-person (a literally brainless embryo) to control the life of a person, especially if that person is a rape victim, a woman for whom pregnancy is inadvisable for health reasons, or a child with extraordinary fertility. Just don't let the embryo develop a mind.

Was that a pun on the use of incense in meditation?

Taking care of the unfortunate is one of things taxes go to pay for. I agree that a mother can evict her child at any time, but only on the caveat that that child must not be destroyed in the eviction process, and should be given to the relevant authorities to be taken care of. A woman has the right of eviction, not the right to kill. If the evicted baby is unviable, that is unfortunate but a necessary cost of the mother's personal integrity. If it is small enough it can be frozen for future revival; if it is large enough it will survive being in an incubator. As the technology of artificial wombs advances the babies can be transferred to those. Also history of consciousness. Both heads on the two-headed person have a history of consciousness, as does the person in a coma. As does, at a rudimentary level, an unborn baby past the roughly 12-week threshold. They have a history and therefore a future provided circumstances, including human intervention, don't abort that future.

Then the next question for a man becomes, "Who should be my enemies?"

You're presuming that a hospital exists for the comatose man to be dropped off at. Abortion isn't dropping someone off at a hospital where they'll be taken care off, it's dumping them in a ditch to die (at best), or dismembering them with a chainsaw.

Also, on Moslem immigration, the Chinese aren't known for their territorial aggression and cultural imperialism, are they? They're not beheading people and screaming about how they're going to breed with our women, are they? (I know there was that Mongolian thing a few years ago, but that seemed like a one-off.)

My sentience is unfalsifiable to you, does that mean you should ignore my sentience? If I fall down and stop talking, it might be that I'm dead, or it might be I just don't want to talk to you right now. At a certain point in life, faith is inevitable.

Win World War Two nonviolently.

The femiblob is expanding to absorb the St. George's cross. One by one, everything white, Christian, male, cisgender, and heterosexual is being absorbed by the monster. St. George's foe was the dragon, but the femiblob is far more elusive and versatile than was a scaly beast that can be killed with a deftly thrusted lance.

Condell is good. Don't get your Weltanschauung from him, but as a warrior on the front lines of intellectual battle with the Islamoids, he's a stand up chap.

Some perspicacious people have noticed that the European phenotype or cluster of phenotypes is disappearing. This is not in doubt. But it goes further than this. The handmaiden to this is the erasure of white culture as well, and I think the core of the matter comes down to natural preferences. White preferences are gradually being marginalised, delegitimised, and will eventually erased. Like, racially speaking, generally prefers like. Most white people, given the chance, will choose white mates. Races naturally tend to segregate, as seen clearly seen in the major cities, there will be a black area, an Hispanic are, a white area, a Chinatown, a Pakistani area, sometimes even an LGBT&c area. The segregation is not hermetic and absolute, and there are bona fide multiracial areas, but it is an undeniable trend, even if the white self-segregation is carried out using code words. "We just wanted to go to a nice neighbourhood without all the crime." "We want to have more trees." "We'll be near our friends." Wiggle and squirm they are implicitly white, never explicitly. "There's a nice black couple that moved in down the street." These natural preferences for like mates, like neighbours, are opposed and attacked in the MSM. Even as the MSM caters to the white majority's preference for seeing like depicted on tv and film, it wiggles in multiracial and multicultural propaganda messages to convey that the ideal Western world is one of maximum racial, cultural, religious, sexual, gender, and linguistic diversity. Never, note, political diversity, not legitimate political diversity. The overly diverse politicos like Marine Le Pen and Victor Orban are not legitimate, just targets for fabricated outrage. One of the latest attacks on white preference comes from the University-spawned concept of "cultural appropriation" which phrase is a tool for prying out pieces of originally-non-European culture and setting them aside as off-limits to white cultural participants. Get this idea inside your mind, and you will begin to see how many words, because of the concepts associated with them, are becoming targets for cultural de-appropriation. Sometimes scientists use the word "boomerang" for example to describe the orbits of solar system bodies. Or a job seeker may employ the services of a "headhunter". Or "too white" words like "amazon" or "jovial" or even "phlegmatic". These words emerge in the mind like stones in a fallow field, waiting to be seized and cast aside. They are tickets that only designated non-whites can punch. This action pinches the language, and eats into the culture, causing mild ongoing paranoia to set in as one never knows when one's preferences will be tagged cultural appropriation, or even just "too white" in some way and lacking the religiously mandated "diversity". It all smacks of a reeducation camp, with walls being built yard by yard as the allowed portion of white culture that doesn't "offend" non-whites becomes ever more niggardly, even as the option of escaping to non-white cultures become all-or-nothing. Where the anti-white action will go next is hard to predict because the effort to efface whiteness evolves. Perhaps in the future even certain letters of the Alphabet will be viewed with disdain by the culture-wreckers, for whatever reason, though most likely because it reminds them of something they dislike. Is white paper racist? Should paper be black and text be light grey? Or from the feminist camp, unlimited craziness potential there, what about capital B for instance, looks too much like a bosom doesn't it? Can't have that. The point is that the culturally Marxist process is there, it is eating away at the culture that whites inhabit, while ignoring non-white cultures, which are deemed constitutionally incapable of offending others. This isn't to say non-white, non-male [sic] etc cultures aren't going to get knocked a bit when the host white hetero cis Christian male (whccm or "wikkum") culture is demolished, but they're not the target, you might say. Feminists getting upset with black male culture are really in tumbleweed territory politically. Not much happening there. Gotta kick some whccm ass, you know. What this process is doing is raising the cost of being white, so that white people are caught: their own culture is getting castrated--try asserting that Shakespeare should be required reading for Literature majors in University--but they can't adopt alien cultures because that would be cultural appropriation. So what do they do? Drink increasingly weak tea, apparently, as they corporeally fade from existence. What can be done? (1) be more literate. The more dexterous we are with language the better we'll be able to counter the attacks against our preferences. And, (2) being aware of the current edge of thought will help us avoid being cut by them. And, (3) taking note of how much European culture has been appropriated without thanks balances the indignation equation, and makes the anti-appropriators look like the hypocrites they are. And, (4) immersing oneself in culture--not just European culture but high culture from around the world, and appropriating it with due diligence and foresight, will: (a) improve your mind (b) refocus the debate on high culture, and not just pop culture © increase the potential to win allies of all races and groups, who also recognise the value of thinking on high levels, about high culture What Is Cultural Appropriation and Why Is It Wrong? "Susan Scafidi, a law professor at Fordham University, told Jezebel.com that it’s difficult to give a concise explanation of cultural appropriation. The author of Who Owns Culture? Appropriation and Authenticity in American Law, defined cultural appropriation as follows: "“Taking intellectual property, traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, or artifacts from someone else's culture without permission. This can include unauthorized use of another culture's dance, dress, music, language, folklore, cuisine, traditional medicine [!], religious symbols, etc. It's most likely to be harmful when the source community is a minority group that has been oppressed or exploited in other ways or when the object of appropriation is particularly sensitive, e.g. sacred objects.”"

Do not psychedelics imitate psychosis, where more connections are made and meanings are tapped? It would create resonances in art products that otherwise come across as a little sterile (hence, clean).
