How much immovable capital did Massachusetts have in 1600? Or for that matter the Axis powers in September, 1945? If you’ve got the right people, and your laws don’t forbid it, you just make more.

His advice seems to boil down to, “Just shut up and relax while we destroy your culture, debauch your children, and deny you the right to live as your faith dictates”. Boy, sign me up for some of that.

We are your friends!”

Do you (a) leave, leave all that lovely capital in the hands of your enemies, and start from scratch, or (b) capture the government and drive out your enemies?

That’s so idiotic as to amount to bad faith. And you’ll pardon me if I don’t take advice from people who would like to annihilate me and take my children away because my moral views include the view that morality doesn’t really change that much.

“It suggests a hair-trigger defensiveness about… identity that would have seemed odd just a few years ago”

LOL hair-trigger defensiveness about identity now bad? dbl LOL.
