THE OPPORTUNITY COST OF DEFENDING OUR COMMONS
by Bill Joslin
(perfect example of economics and law of the commons)
“When deciding upon defense of the social commons,
We must continuously calculate “should I bear an opportunity cost (to crush the other) to maintain peace, trust, and cooperation, and therefore to preserve the status quo” versus “the opportunity cost of maintaining the status quo is too high to sustain trust, peace, and cooperation, because the property damages are too high- now we must defect or fight”
“Our issue today is that our media, academia and state are forcing us to bear the opportunity cost (to not fight) while we watch our properties (decency, culture, transgenerational values, trust) are being dismantled by the mob. We’re at war, but its hard to identify because it is a war of demographics… an ill-defined group which IMO is why identitarianism is on the rise. We’re attempting to identify who, as a group (or army if you will) is under attack and who is attacking. We’re attempting to distinguish friend from foe.”
And the media, academia and state are obscuring our personal interests under the moral ideal of “tolerance”. If we change the narrative to forbearance, then costs must be defined. If costs are defined, limits to tolerance must be discussed. If limits to tolerance are discussed then it becomes clear we have crossed the limit which demands tolerant to become intolerant ages ago… and if this is clear, then heads will roll.”
