Our liberties depend on producing custom commons for differing peoples in small states with low power distance and limited internal competition, thereby fostering maximum redistribution.

But our small states depend on large federations for defense, trade policy, and reciprocal insurance.

There is only safety in numbers – especially given that the USA will likely devolve back more to reflect the diversity of Europe than Europe will reflect the domestic government of empire across our Nine Nations, that is the US federal government.

There is no moral or practical argument against the continued gradual conversion of agrarian empires into industrial federations.

There is no safety for all, especially the weak, in cowardice. Europe has grown externally weak. We have grown internally weak. Perhaps the privilege of weakness that was the optimistic democratic socialist age has finally come to call its debts.

I respect Dr Peterson, but a life with the broken, the academic, the political, has failed to teach him the nature of men with real power, allies, and capacity for violence – and they are the most pragmatic and empirical of all.

It is very hard for such men to push buttons on command that mean their suicide – and the suicide of their kith and kin, to keep in place a government that you distrust.

Maybe in Islam. Maybe in Asia. But not so in Christendom.
