“Will Covid-19 be used as an excuse to implement further state control?”

By NZB3

Question: “Will Covid-19 be used as an excuse to implement further state control?” You mean, continue to be used? First, The State said the Lock Down was to spare a Health System strain it would not bare. But then it turns out the load never came; We’re at 50% capacity when usually at 100%. Next, […]

Slave Culture and Abortion

By NZB3

The Theory of Moral Cultures predicts that K-selected kids are always wanted and r-selected kids are not. The two K-selected cultures (Honour Culture […]
