“For example, Britain today is suffering from an “epidemic” of “knife crime.”​ To wit: every day in Great Britain, 60 people are stabbed or mugged with a knife.​ (Admire, for a moment, the passive voice.​ Presumably the knives are floating disembodied in the air, directing themselves with Jedi powers.)​”

“In government, selective disclosure creates a power network between the press and its sources.​ This network does not produce money, but just power.​ The power is shared between the sources and the journalists.​ The whole system is about as transparent as mud.”
― Mencius Moldbug, An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives

“So we believe that, ethically, a policeman’s crimes are no different from a street thug’s.​ Or do we?​ Not as far as I can tell.​ I think San Franciscans are much more likely to express fear and anger at the idea of a policeman committing lawless violence.​ Don’t you find this slightly odd?​ Which would you rather be hit over the head by: a policeman, or a mugger?​ I would rather not be hit over the head at all, thank you.”

“There is no subject on which opinions differ so widely as this matter of finding the way to a place. To the man who knows, it is simplicity itself. Probably he really does imagine that he goes straight on, ignoring the fact that for him the choice of three roads, all more or less straight, has no perplexities. The man who does not know feels as if he were in a maze.”
