The Leftism of Ben Shapiro

Ben Shapiro says it isn’t capitalism that causes alienation and mass depression, but the lack of spirituality and religiosity in the lives of Americans.

But what drives the degradation of religion? Surely capitalism, consumerism, worldly material luxury and its availability plays a big role. When Jesus is in the desert for 40 days, and the devil tempts him, does he not offer endless worldly luxury, kingdoms, riches, and to turn every stone into bread? The devil offers worldly riches to persuade you God is not necessary — he offers to sate your hunger, quench your thirst, to drag you out of poverty, to drag you from ignorance into wisdom — but it’s a poisoned gift.

One does not worship God and Mammon — a society built to be profitable, first and foremost above all else, does not create godly men, it creates Homo Economicus, but also, hikkikimori, the incel, and the school shooter. Capitalism has no incentive not to sell heroin to addicts, it has no disincentive against production of child pornography, or against prostitution — a truly free market would permit a slave auction, and it would permit a child brothel. Without moral authority, effectuated by physical force, the free market serves only to corrupt the spirit of man, and to guide him not toward morality, toward transcendence, or toward God, but toward a hedonic spiral, to the dulling of all sense into complacency, toward addiction, toward exploitation of others, toward self destruction, in a word, to nihilism.

One wonders, how does Ben reconcile the prerogative of the free market toward supplying satisfaction of all demands — including immoral, obscene demands — and the necessity of rekindling genuine spirituality in Americans? To me, he seems to want to worship both God and Mammon. Ben should revisit Genesis — why were there so few good men in Sodom and Gomorrah? Why did they have so much trouble repenting? Well… the men of Sodom enjoyed their self destructive, exploitative lifestyles. They enjoyed the hedonic spiral. They loved their cummies — and they probably had all the luxury of the ancient world in their cities. What do they need a God who demands struggle and sacrifice? Their free market has satisfied their every want, what will God do more? Therefore, they are destroyed.

Turns out, material comfort makes you forget God — and thereby reduces the meaning of life from a quest toward divine transcendence and reconciliation with the Universal Being, toward the shallow satisfaction of wants and lusts. Though you have everything, you want for nothing, you are not happy, and desire only death. Seoul is a city with every comfort, every convenience, access to every product, every service — it is awash in suicide and full of social recluses, and amnesiac of its Confucian tendency, neglectful of filial piety. Do you think these problems are reproduced in Pyongyang? I doubt it.

Man’s spirit, and moral sense, is not an atom in a vacuum. It, like man’s body and his pain sensation, exists in the material world, and responds to material circumstances. Struggle to survive strengthens the spirit like heavy lifting strengthens the body. Provide a man with comfort all his life, and his spirit atrophies. He becomes a small souled bugman. He will not keep a stiff upper lip, he’ll throw a tantrum. He will not develop discipline — he will only seek satisfaction of cravings.

Moral failure of Americans is tied directly to their market conditions. The free market was more effective in killing and mutilating God than any Soviet anti religion campaign. The free market, loosened from moral restraints imposed by force from above, is the Prince of the World, who offers to turn stone into bread. And when you’re spiritually weak, and physically hungry, why would you say no? Christ was God, he resisted all temptation, and lived without sin — but we are men, and sinners, and for us it is difficult to turn down a cigarette, or a piece of cake, or free cash, or a blowjob. How can we become moral men, and not omniconsuming beats, in the free market which offers us its endless, if poisonous, delights?

February 20, 2019

SHANGHAI (Reuters) – China’s central bank said that it would implement 1-year central bank bill swaps worth 1.5 billion yuan ($222.02 million) on Wednesday to improve the liquidity of banks’ perpetual bonds, and support issuance of the bonds to replenish capital.

The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) made the announcement in a statement on its website on Wednesday.

PBOC Vice Governor Pan Gongsheng said on Tuesday that China would provide further support for banks’ perpetual bond issuance, including examining ways to broaden the investor base for such bonds, to help boost lending in the economy.

UCLA hires Cincinnati’s Cronin as head coach

NCAA Basketball: NCAA Tournament-First Round- Iowa Hawkeyes vs Cincinnati Bearcats

April 9, 2019

UCLA ended a long search Tuesday by naming Cincinnati’s Mick Cronin as the 14th head coach of the Bruins.

According to ESPN, Cronin agreed to a six-year, $24 million deal.

Cronin, 47, replaces Steve Alford, who was fired in December midway through his sixth season.

Cronin spent the last 13 seasons at his alma mater Cincinnati, leading the Bearcats to nine consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and a 296-147 record. He was 69-24 in three seasons at Murray State before taking over at Cincinnati in 2006.

“Mick Cronin is a fierce competitor, and I’m excited to welcome him to Westwood,” UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero said in a statement. “Mick has built a fantastic program at Cincinnati, backed by integrity and discipline, and he has instilled an undeniable toughness in his student-athletes. I am confident he will build this program the right way and lead UCLA basketball back to national prominence.”

The Bruins pursued a number of high-profile coaches before reaching a deal with Cronin, terms of which were not immediately available. TCU’s Jamie Dixon, Tennessee’s Rick Barnes, Virginia’s Tony Bennett and Kentucky’s John Calipari were all linked to the search.

UCLA won 10 national championships in a 12-season stretch under the legendary John Wooden in the 1960s and 1970s, but the Bruins haven’t been to the Final Four since 2008 and have not won the NCAA Tournament since 1995.

Cronin said he was excited about the challenge ahead of him.

“I am incredibly humbled and honored to become the head coach at UCLA,” Cronin said. “UCLA is a very special place with a strong tradition of excellence. To be able to join such a world-class institution is truly a privilege, and I can’t wait to get started in Westwood.”

The Bruins finished 17-16 this season, including 9-9 in the Pac-12.

Cronin’s Bearcats were 28-7 and lost to Iowa in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Mexican government apologizes in deaths of 2 students

Mexico's government has formally apologized to the families of two university students who were shot to death by soldiers in 2010.

The soldiers had falsely claimed the students were drug cartel gunmen and planted weapons on the bodies to justify the shooting.

The students happened to walk into an area of the campus where soldiers were pursuing gunmen after coming under fire. The incident was part of a series of confrontations in the northern city of Monterrey.

The Interior Department said in an apology Tuesday that it would try to make amends for the deaths and to guarantee that such killings would never happen again. Interior Secretary Olga Sanchez apologized for officials falsely besmirching the students' names and reputations and altering the crime scene.

Putin says he may weigh pardon for Norwegian man after trial

Russian President Vladimir Putin says he will wait for the trial of a Norwegian man jailed on espionage charges to wrap up before weighing pleas for a pardon.

Frode Berg was arrested in Moscow in December 2017. His lawyer said that Berg, a retired Norwegian border inspector, is the victim of a setup.

Putin commented on the case Tuesday as he sat down for talks with Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg on the sidelines of an Arctic forum in St. Petersburg. Asked by reporters if he would pardon Berg, he responded that "only a convicted person can be pardoned" and added that "we shall see what can be done" after the trial ends.

Russian prosecutors said Berg was accused of collecting information about Russian nuclear submarines for Norwegian intelligence.

RBS aims to wind down 1 billion pounds in local council loans: The Guardian

March 23, 2019

(Reuters) – Britain’s Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc is aiming to wind down 1 billion pounds ($1.3 billion) of bank loans held by local councils across the country, The Guardian http://bit.ly/2Oijrmm newspaper reported on Saturday.

The development follows criticism from activists and John McDonnell, finance spokesman of Britain’s opposition Labour Party, that high payments have led to diversion of cash from council services.

RBS is aiming to wind down the loan portfolio by the end of the year, the newspaper report said, adding that the main method of executing the winding down is through loan redemptions.

Such redemptions will allow clients including local authorities to pay back the loans earlier than their original contracts allowed.

RBS did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment early on Saturday.

April 26, 2019

By James Davey

LONDON (Reuters) – With Sainsbury’s dream of creating Britain’s biggest supermarket group in tatters, its chastened CEO Mike Coupe needs to reassure investors he has the plan to arrest a sales decline when he presents annual results next week.

Britain’s competition regulator blocked Sainsbury’s 7.3 billion pound ($9.4 billion) takeover of Walmart’s Asda on Thursday, saying the deal would increase prices. Sainsbury’s shares fell 5 percent and are down 22 percent over the last three months.

For Sainsbury’s fourth quarter to March 9 analysts are on average forecasting a 1.6 percent fall in like-for-like sales, which would follow 1.1 percent decline over the Christmas period.

Monthly industry data from researcher Kantar has also shown Sainsbury’s as the weakest performer of the big four grocers this year and this month it lost its status as Britain’s No. 2 supermarket group by market share to Asda.

While Sainsbury’s has struggled, market leader Tesco has gained momentum, this month reporting a 34 percent jump in full year profit.

Prohibition of the deal was a major blow to Coupe, its architect and Sainsbury’s boss since 2014.

Martin Scicluna became Sainsbury’s chairman last month and when bedded-in may decide that if the group needs a major shake-up it is best carried out by a new leader.

Much will depend on the attitude of 22 percent shareholder the Qatar Investment Authority, which has so far declined to comment, as well as Coupe’s own appetite to continue after 15 years at the group.

THE RIGHT STRATEGY?

Coupe said on Thursday he was confident Sainsbury’s was pursuing the right strategy.

That was a clear indication that Wednesday’s results statement will not include radical changes to the group’s plans, such as a big margin reset — sacrificing profit to drive sales.

However, sources connected to Sainsbury’s said Coupe would likely acknowledge that more needs to be done on prices, so the supermarket business can better compete with its big four rivals – Tesco, Asda and No. 4 Morrisons – as well as German-owned discounters Aldi and Lidl.

Coupe’s strategy is based on differentiating Sainsbury’s food offer, growing its general merchandise, clothing business and bank, while investing in convenience and online channels.

Some analysts believe major change is needed.

HSBC analyst David McCarthy reckons Sainsbury’s needs a margin reset, should allocate more space for core lines and needs to drive better store standards. He said Sainsbury’s might consider closing down space in some of its larger stores and reducing its non-food offer.

For the full 2018-19 year analysts are on average forecasting a pretax profit of 626 million pounds, up from 589 million pounds in 2017-18 – a second straight year of profit growth. A full year dividend of 10.5 pence per share is forecast versus 10.2 pence last time.

Bank and lawyer fees related to the proposed combination with Asda were 17 million pounds in the first half and have reportedly jumped to around 50 million pounds.

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada posted a budget surplus in the first 11 months of the 2018/19 fiscal year compared to a deficit the year earlier as revenues increased mostly on higher tax incomes, the finance department said on Friday.

The surplus for April-February was C$3.1 billion, compared to a deficit of C$6 billion in the same 2017/18 period. Revenues climbed by 8.5 percent, mainly due to higher tax receipts, while program expenses rose by 4.8 percent.

The surplus for February was C$4.3 billion compared with C$2.8 billion in February 2018. Revenues jumped by 12.2 percent while program expenses posted a more modest 6.9 percent gain.

Last month, the Liberals unveiled their new budget, projecting a C$14.9 billion deficit in 2018/19, with the deficit rising to C$19.8 billion in fiscal 2019/20.

President Trump said Friday he would beat Joe Biden “easily” in the 2020 presidential election, suggesting the former vice president could not have enough “energy” to hold the post—taking an apparent swipe at his age.

The president, departing the White House, was asked about Biden’s entrance into the Democratic primary field. Biden announced his presidential bid early Thursday morning, marking his third attempt at the White House.

JOE BIDEN OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES 2020 PRESIDENTIAL BID

“I think we’d beat him easily,” Trump told reporters Friday.

Trump, 72, said he feels “young” and is ready for 2020, and another term for his administration.

“I feel like a young man. I am a young, vibrant man,” Trump said. “I look at Joe, I don’t know about him.”

The president’s comments seemingly were a shot at the age of Biden, who is 76.

BIDEN ENTERS WHITE HOUSE RACE WITHOUT OBAMA’S ENDORSEMENT

“I would never say anyone’s too old,” Trump said. “I know they’re all making me look very young both in terms of age and in terms of energy.”

Biden became the 20th candidate to join the crowded Democratic primary field Thursday. But Biden is not the oldest in the pack. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is 77 and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is 69.

Should Trump be re-elected, he would be 74 on Jan. 20, 2021—Inauguration Day. Should the presidency go to one of the elder Democrats in the field—Biden would be 78; Sanders would be 79; and Warren would be 71.

Meanwhile, in a wide-ranging interview on “Hannity” Thursday night, Trump dismissed Biden’s candidacy, nicknaming him “Sleepy Joe,” and saying he’s “not the brightest bulb.” Trump also said that while the former vice president has name recognition, he won’t “be able to do the job.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Treasury Department on Friday imposed sanctions on Venezuela’s foreign minister and a Venezuelan judge, according to a statement on the department’s website.

Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza and a judge, Carol Padilla, were targeted over the ongoing crisis in Venezuela, the Treasury Department said, the latest in a list of officials blacklisted by U.S. authorities for their role in President Nicolas Maduro’s government.
