Politics Equals: Gift Friends and Punish Enemies

says the Supreme Court

I know. Let’s interpret the recent US Supreme Court decisions in black and white.

No, I don’t mean through the lens of race, but in the harsh light of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt and his notion from The Concept of the Political:

The specific political distinction to which political actions and motives can be traced is the distinction between friend and enemy.

And the notion of Curtis Yarvin:

There is no politics without an enemy.

And the worlds of Mao Zedong:

Who are our enemies? Who are our friends?

And the words of Óscar Benavides, once president of Peru:

For my friends, everything; for my enemies the law.

So what do we understand about the Affirmative Action decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina?

We understand that Affirmative Action, quotas, diversity, etc., is nothing more than the ruling class gifting its black supporters. Oh yes, it’s all dressed up in the monstrosity of slavery and Jim Crow and discrimination and white supremacy. But really, it’s all about the white ruling class gifting its most loyal supporters. Politics as usual; that is all.

Then there is 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, over the question of

whether a U.S. state's anti-discrimination laws can require designers to create works that recognize same-sex marriages, when same-sex marriage conflicts with those designers' beliefs.

In other words, whether gays can force the Christian enemy to kneel in submission to its homosexual agenda.

Do you see that both these Supreme Court cases illustrate the nature and the operation of politics.

First, gift your friends.

Second, drive you enemies before you and enjoy the lamentation of their women.

That is all.
