    —“What are geographic and natural factors constrains progress of afghanistan as state?”—

    Land Locked. No meaningful rivers. Limited fertile land. Mountains that are very cold in winter, poor land that is very hot in summer, and worse, like the middle east sits at the nexus of multiple civilizations always at war. The systemic, universal disaster of any people conquered and colonized by arabs and islam, and the total destruction of the entire region by Mongol Conquest, a long period of decline, a failure of the british empire to civilize it as it had done in india. The russian conquest. The American ‘punishment’. I mean. really, it’s terrible. during through the end of the ice age it was a reasonably good territory. But it’s been a disaster since its peak.

  • The Janissary System and Europe

    by Emil Prelic The Janissary System It (JS) was the literal theft of Balkan children, overwhelmingly Serbs, who were then turned into elite Islamist terrorists of their day (except they were more like cops due to the Sharia element of the Ottoman Empire) and sent back to murder, rape, pillage, and torture their literal brothers and sisters after being properly brainwashed. The greatest lie that the Clinton News Network ever told (by omission) is, “how do you end up with a predominantly Muslim nation state in the literal heart of Europe, where only a statistically insignificant portion of residents speak, read, or write in Arabic/Turkish?” and of course by extension, “why is it that we’re militarily supporting these people, against their centuries-long victims hell-bent on not allowing an Ottoman Reconquista while they create a terror training state in the heart of Europe.” Indeed, I am alleging that we have multiple variations of the Janissary system being utilized against the Western world today and that as much as the media has trained you to think about ISIL, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Bin Laden, The House of Saud, Palestinians, etc…the greatest enemy of our civilization over the past half-a-millennium-and-change has always been the Turks and it is only the destruction of Turkey, or its own willing departure from Greek, Armenian, and Kurdish lands that would allow for a discussion about peace to even begin.

  • Russian Sociodemographic Cycle

    THE RUSSIAN SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC CYCLE Nefedov, Turchin and Malkov: sociodemographic cycles (The implied argument is that the Kondratiev wave and the agrarian waves are about the same, and that we exhaust possibilities of expansion on a predictable cycle (it takes two generations to exhaust and opportunity) The basic logic of these models is as follows: 1) After the population reaches the ceiling of the carrying capacity of land, its growth rate declines toward near-zero values. 2) The system experiences significant stress with decline in the living standards of the common population, increasing the severity of famines, growing rebellions etc. 3) As has been shown by Nefedov, most complex agrarian systems had considerable reserves for stability, however, within 50–150 years these reserves were usually exhausted and the system experienced a demographic collapse (a Malthusian catastrophe), when increasingly severe famines, epidemics, increasing internal warfare and other disasters led to a considerable decline of population. 4) As a result of this collapse, free resources became available, per capita production and consumption considerably increased, the population growth resumed and a new sociodemographic cycle started.

    AFRICA
    You see, I see african ‘humility’ as both a blessing and a curse. It is not that helpful, but humility is easier to transform into heroic optimism, than islamic overconfidence, and hindu overinvestment in ‘magic’.

    Islam is the greatest danger to africa for this reason.

    3) The uneducated speak in theology. The educated speak in morality, philosophy, and pseudoscience. But those with existential responsibility speak in history, economics, and incentives. If you cannot explain phenomenon in economic terms you are just inventing fictions.

  • Why Could Indian Civilization Not Resist?

    I might argue that Hindus are an exception having been conquered, repeatedly, and never ascending into the age of commerce and affluence. We can see the indus valley civilization did. But India seems to not have ascended, but stagnated, and china was not able to enter the age of intellect and stagnated. This is very informative in and of itself. The difference being china could not be conquered until the 20th century and europeans had already given up those ambitions, and india was conquered by every single era of warfare technologists (despite producing the first quality steel). While I agree that the ancient myths are virtuous in cooperating submissively with one another, they are not virtuous in defense. The jews faced a similar problem – on first glance their religion appears beneficial, but upon study it has been catastrophic unless they have the warriors of a host people to defend them. This is my primary difficulty with Hindu civilization. It is incomprehensible to me at times, because, as a member of the aristocratic (military) caste(class) of my people, I cannot imagine the inability to defend, and the tolerance for external rule. And depending upon the mercy of rulers for success in rebellion.
