    1. Agreed. I was saying the NAP wouldn't be relevant if we took the premise that the trespassing was indeed initiating force. I now see that weather it's initiating force is fundamentally the question. Again, I wrongly assumed that this was a rhetorical question to disprove the NAP. I apologize.

    1., 2. & 3. I wrongly assumed your questions were mostly rhetorical questions intending to disprove the NAP. My mistake, I shouldn't have assumed. 3. Good point. My meaning was poorly articulated. I would amend my statement like this: "NAP advocates are usually concerned with applying it to the state and parenting. Those are really the only areas where it's relevant [the areas that are most important by far], since pretty much all other moral areas are intuitive [most of the time to most people]." 4. Agreed, I'm confused by his statement.

    I remember him saying it was an act of war. Did he specifically say it was initiation of force or that it was immoral? (I would like to know. Not a rhetorical question)

    Basic moral intuition probably seems to cover the NAP and it's exceptions, so you might be wondering why it even matters. NAP advocates are usually concerned with applying it to the state and parenting. Those are really the only areas where it's relevant, since pretty much all other moral areas are intuitive. NAP people are not trying to shut down boxing matches, or saying you can't exercise self defense on someone else's behalf, for example.

    In case you're not clear on what the NAP is, it simply means you can't use force against someone who hasn't first used force against you. It's a broad generalization with some apparent exceptions. EDIT: This comment is not intended to be snide in any way. Your question #8 suggested you weren't exactly sure, for the reason I covered above regarding question 8.

    I'm going to assume you're only concerned with accidental trespassing in the case where it's considered aggression. (You probably wouldn't shoot that person) How/Weather or not you retaliate isn't of concern to the NAP. The NAP is a "thou shall not", not a positive right like the right to self defense.

    Self-honesty is a good sign. It gives you the ability to change. Given your unfortunate self-assessment, you really, really should go to a therapist. They can help you identify your problems, their causes, and solutions. I sincerely wish the best for you.

    As someone who grew up in Canada , I'm afraid it might be too late to save Canada from soviet-style leftist hell. Stories like this, and bill C-16 seem to support that. I'm not a fatalist though. If anything, this means leftism must be fought harder than ever. In my experience, Canadians are very, very conformist. This trait allowed for the unchecked spread of political correctness. I don't think that trend will change soon. I don't know about the new generation, though.

    One more thought. If you're uncomfortable using SJW tactics against the left, your discomfort might be the unconscious voice of your social group. Are they cuckservatives or leftists? If this is kind of rhetoric is new for you, you might have to find new friends.

    When communicating, it's very important to give off positive energy. Leftists are not K-selected. They will be turned off by doom and gloom warnings about future. Someone like Paul Joseph Watson is great for talking to K-selected types, I doubt he has much success bridging the gap between us and the R-selected. In other words, it's better to tell a fat joke about a lesbian than talk about federal unfunded liabilities. Sad to say, but you have to talk to people in their own language.

    Conservatives need to lose their moral inhibitions when it comes to culture warfare. When there is so much life and blood on the line, adopting SJW tactics is not only moral, it's fun! Use ad hominems. Appeal to emotion. Use hyperbole. Being nice to your enemy is not a virtue. Don't do anything your conscience can't accept, of course. Mike Cernovich is a great role model for this. Also, SJWs Always Lie and SJW Always Double Down are great warfare manuals.

    Willpower requires good health and overall well-being, because good feelings counterbalance the discomfort of self control. In order to possess willpower it's greatly beneficial to exercise, because it physiologically puts you in a K-selected state. (Or so I believe) Also, making yourself do more than necessary is self-sabotage. Your unconscious mind knows when you are wasting time, and it will shut off your motivation. I can attest to that from personal self-observation, and Tim Ferriss talks about this frequently. (The minimum effective dose principle) This is a topic I've been obsessed with, so I can recommend a some resources. -The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg (Life Changing) -Anything by Tim Ferriss on this topic.

    This needs to exist. I'm glad I found it.

    Thanks for your thoughts. To clarify, my concerns are regarding the 10 year+ time horizon, and I don't believe a breakup would be politically feasible any time soon. I think an inevitable consequence of demographic trends is that political conflict will grow without stopping, untill it boils over. Few things are worse than war, so I desprately hope things can be resolved peacefully.
  16. Will 001
    I don't know, but if anyone knows of an example please let me know. It might be very unlikely that a peaceful partition will happen, but things are going to get ugly if we continue down this path. It's worth considering unlikely solutions when the alternative is so awful. There's no reason to think Genocide and ethnic cleansing can't happen in America.

    No need to worry- They promised nothing bad will happen. *Dies laughing*
  18. Will 001
    Is it possible to peacefully partition America into multiple countries? The alternative is inevitable war in my opinion. Once the left started normalizing violence, it's not possible for them to turn back because it would require self criticism. They would have to own up to what they did. That's impossible because SJWs always double down. Am I a pessimist?
