  • We Are Unique

    —” We (european men) must stop making this mistake: we must stop thinking, wishing, or hoping that other groups (including our own women) are like us.”— by John Mark

    This mistake has plunged us into long dark ages before. Let’s not do it again. Let’s learn this lesson once and for all.

  • The National Socialism Question. It Won the 20 Th Right?

    THE NATIONAL SOCIALISM QUESTION. IT WON THE 20TH RIGHT? I know history is currently overturning the mythology but I want to address the National Socialist community for a moment, even if it’s politically incorrect for now. My problem with supporting the NS political program is limited to the strange german obsession with recreating a secular religion to replace the devotion of the catholic church. It’s in everything they do. It’s also why they’re the most moral people on earth most of the time. So this remains one of my most frustrating problems: the germans have pretty much always ‘been right’, throughout all of history. And I know why (customary law). Am I right that we must create this formal law, but that we must also produce a secular political religion on top? NS won the 20th right? I mean, that’s what China is practicing, and that’s what Russia wants to practice – if we’d let them. Democracy failed as always. Representative democracy failed as always. and the only decent countries are those with intact monarchies, or politicians … … who in practice act as monarchs rather than CEO’s. Now. I prefer a monarchy, under our traditional rule of law of sovereignty and reciprocity, with the purpose of the government the intergenerational persistence of family and nation. Where the monarchy appoints a cabinet … … but in english fashion, a jury of the people (or multiple houses acting as juries) approve or veto requests from the cabinet, which are all to be structured as contracts of the commons. This depoliticizes society, which has been a catastrophe for western civlization. There is precious little evidence that political competition does anything except undermine the nation. And by limiting people to voluntary means of cooperating, we deprive them of pursuit of rents. But given our historical mistake of not making the state treasury the bank of the realm, and separating credit to the people, with credit in business and industry, we allowed creation of rents against the people that belong to them in the first place, not to the finance sector. This problem is easily rectified.

    EXCHANGE OF KIN AS SECURITY

    —“Uncle Curt, what was it called when Kings would exchange Princes for a required amount of time, and keep as their ward the exchanged Prince? As this was keep the Peace.”—

    Meaning changes over time. So that’s why it doesn’t immediately come to you. Hostage: “a lodger held by a landlord as security”. It’s hostage, although it means something more like ‘guest held as security’. The modern meaning has been twisted – and fairly recently. COMPARISONS A hostage held as security under guarantee of safety vs a hostage hold for ransom under threat of harm. So it’s held as hostage (safe), vs held for ransom (harm). ETYMOLOGY hostage (n.) late 13c., from Old French ostage, hostage “kindness, hospitality; residence, dwelling; rent, tribute; compensation; guarantee, pledge, bail; person given as security or hostage” (11c., Modern French ôtage), which is of uncertain origin. Either from hoste “guest” (see host (n.1)) via notion of “a lodger held by a landlord as security” [Watkins, Barnhart]; or else from Late Latin obsidanus “condition of being held as security,” from obses “hostage,” from ob- “before” + base of sedere “to sit,” with spelling influenced by Latin hostis. [OED, Century Dictionary]
