  • A Civil Society: Gestures

    No, I don’t find you attractive or interesting or even want to have a conversation. I’m just CIVIL person who was RAISED WELL, with the undrestanding that casual recognition, a smile, and “hello” in passing is the civic equivalent of a handshake – the entire purpose of which is to demonstrate goodwill and remove uncertainty, fear, and status signaling. And in general, by doing so, make the world a more relaxing and pleasant place. Unfortunately, evangelists, yankee peddlers, immigrants from the mediterranean, and immigrants from the third world culture of the ‘Bazaar’, lack Germanic decency in public. We used, and those of us with good manners, still use “Excuse me Sir/Madam”, or the preposition “I’m sorry…but…” Unfortunately we abandoned the duel for those who insult us; we abandoned the practice of berating or beating the crass and opportunistic for their ill manners; beating the underclass for even approaching their betters; and we have, always lacked the Eastern European and Asian “Crossed Ams” symbol for “No/Stop” that informs both the recipient of the gesture to cease and desist immediately, and requests all men within visual and auditory distance to come to one’s defense and and punish the abuser if he does not immediately break contact. I have found that “Fuck Off” works in every country in the world that i’ve visited. And I still have no idea why I am never the target of interests of malcontents. But I would much prefer to return to an era where you could visit a provider of goods, services, and information, but such providers were prohibited from seeking attention, interruption, time, effort, or money from us in the commons. End the commercialization of the commons. End tolerance for approach, interruption, attention, time, effort, and cost. And restore civil discourse of recognition, testimony of harmlessness (“hi, hello”) in those commons. And in doing so restore some of the lost trust from our civilization.

  • Aristocracy, Snobbery, Virtue

    Does not require much money. In fact, if you can purchase time in exchange for decreasing ownership of property that’s better for you. It requires only that you are extremely judicious in your expenditures. It requires only that you ‘be a man’: in control of yourself. Be fit enough to fight no matter your age. Eat well enough to stay fit enough to fight. Own nothing not both Excellent, Beautiful, and Useful. Be well dressed and well groomed enough to demonstrate your discipline and taste. Accumulate cash, investments, manners, worthy friends, knowledge, and experiences. Accumulate competitive knowledge. Accumulate wealth. Three or more men living in a single residence, will accumulate enough wealth. If you are all of similar economic strategy, you will merely improve one another. Remember that a pack of men is only as strong as its weakest member. So be intolerant. Do not ‘try’ to get rich. Getting rich is a simple as (a) avoiding all credit, (b) not having a starter marriage, (c) saving half of what you earn (d) buying a house, only for cash, only to have enough children, or only for investment and renting out. Yes, we want women. Women peak at 19-22. But don’t ‘lose the crazy’ until 33-35. Men peak between 35 and 55. Find a women 7-15 years your junior – if not twenty, have five or six children from a position of power. Try to get at least two if not three sons, by frequent sex during peak ovulation. Sons who you have time for are an asset. Women are more plentiful the better shape you are in, the better groomed you are, and the wealthier you are. Girlfriends are cheapest, but must be rotated every year. Women can be rented by online dating, and rented for sex. There is no reason to own one until you have the assets to afford one. Yes, as a man who finds life without a woman as my best friend difficult if not impossible, I understand. But I also understand how much I have lost in my divorces. And I understand that the state, like the church, is organized to prey upon men.
