In the Western Pagan and Pagan-Christian ethic, we do not say people are equal. We do not say we should be tolerant. We say only that we must exhaust all reasonable attempts to cooperate – just as we would our own kin – before treating others unequally, and intolerantly.
This is our faith. It’s also the science.
Abrahamism-Marxism-Postmodernism is just another lie.
Exhausting one’s attempt at cooperation – one’s tolerance – yet retaining the militia’s responsibility, and bearing the cost for the defense of the commons, and claiming one’s well earned virtue, is very different from simply abandoning responsibility for defense of the commons, and thereby escaping the costs of defending the commons, while claiming virtues – when in fact, one is merely a free rider and a thief.
It all begins with the militia.
That is the source of the uniqueness of western civilization.
