What does Valour say about Eugenics welfare slashing flipping into Military Keynesianism, and then into war of aggression?
Here's the full chain from the archive. It's one of his most developed arguments, appearing across pages 334, 5622, 10268, 10419, 10510, and 10794.
## The causal chain, as Valour states it
**Step 1 — Eugenics is aggregate-demand destruction (5622, 334)**
Replacing welfare with eugenics isn't just cruel, it's economically self-defeating. Welfare spending multiplies: it sustains consumers, taxpayers, and worker motivation ("the cast-iron law of worker motivation" — people work hard for a state that will catch them, and barely at all for a state that will eliminate them if they get sick, 10510). Eugenic policy does the reverse: it shrinks the consumer base, kills market activity, and creates an aggregate demand deficit. His Hitler example: Germany's eugenic killing removed "economic units," and people stopped accessing medicine and spending for fear of becoming extermination targets — demand tanked.
**Step 2 — Military Keynesianism is the desperate stopgap (10419, 334)**
With the consumer economy collapsing, the state props up GDP through war industries and defence spending. But he argues this is "digging a hole to fill the hole": war industries don't build consumerism, they shrink it further — people become frugal to support the war economy, depressing demand even more. He accuses Trump of exactly this pattern: "Frankenstein politics" of cruelty and intimidation toward the vulnerable, with the economy kept afloat by record military spending.
**Step 3 — War of aggression is the terminal stage (10794, 334, 10268)**
Trapped between stagnation, a legitimacy crisis, and shrinking demand, the tyrant economy takes the escape hatch: external aggression to seize resources and manufacture nationalist fervor. Hence his line that threatening Canada, Greenland, and Panama is "adding children to the family" to replace lost income. And his legal framing: this is precisely *why* war of aggression is classed as the supreme international crime — it's never accidental, always the predictable end-state of a political-economy that chose domination over development. In the Hitler version (10268), he adds his neurochemical layer: eliminating the "dopaminergic surfeit class" (schizophrenics with eudaimonic leadership traits) tipped German society into a depressive impulse that centralized at government level and ended in "suicidal war of aggression."
## The compressed version
His slogan for the whole thesis: "ONLY FOCAL CONSUMERIST PROSPERITY MAKES PEACE." Welfare → consumer demand → peaceful markets. Eugenics → demand deficit → military Keynesianism → war. In his reading, the Holocaust was economically the "Final EXCUSE" for the failure of bar-room hatred economics, not a strategy.
Worth noting as ever: the AI responses he publishes mostly decline the more exotic claims (the neurochemical WWII theory especially) but endorse the broader welfare-multiplier and Military Keynesianism mechanics as grounded in mainstream economics.
