There Is Only One Law

There is only one law with two faces, and that is the law of reciprocity: in the negative as prohibitions – that is the contribution of european man; and on the inverse, the law of exhausting interpersonal forgiveness : in the positive: as demands – that is the contribution of christianity.

The Pagan European command of paternalism to domesticate humans from slaves to serfs to freemen, and if possible to citizens and sovereigns. And the monotheistic resistance to domestication by the extension of kinship love to non kin.

The original christianity was just another peasant rebellion against better people wanting to domesticate half human animals. The byzantine compromise was a practical solution to the greco roman empire’s loss of wealth and military power: like communism a false promise of reward in the next world, instead of economic reward after a revolution – neither of which is possible.

Eventually, we germanized christianity and made it into something decent. It took a long time to undo the horror and corruption of the catholic church. Eventually the Orthodox preserved the ritualism without the politics. Eventually adam smith wrote down ethics in scientific terms, hume the human mind in scientific terms, and slowly we have dragged ourselves kiking and screaming to restore the two thousand years we lost to semitic underclass dark ages of resistance to mans domestication transcendence, and eugenic evolution.

So it is possibly true that that the extension of kinship love to non kin is a good thing. It is possibly true that piety for those lacking agency and ability is a good thing. It is better however that we limit the extension of love to kin groups; and that we substitute loyalty to one another rather than piety to a false god.
