October 14th, 2018 1:13 PM AFRICAN CIVILIZATION [I] dunno man. We clearly have different understandings of africans. They are, by and large, the most optimistic, pro-social, least ideological people on the planet right now. They’re like the youngest child that learned from all the mistakes of their older siblings, and is determined not to repeat them. If the british had not interfered we would have seen a west african consolidated empire, and they would be at least at the level of south americans by now. If you look at the questions I get from around the world it’s Africans and South Americans that are least likely to believe nonsense, and most likely to simply judge mankind empirically Why? They have not lost sight of humanity up-close-and-personal, and are not fooled by propaganda, false history, and cults because of it.

Natural Level of Predation of Pastoralists
October 14th, 2018 2:42 AM NATURAL LEVEL OF PREDATION OF PASTORALISTS (like I said)
—“Whole German tribes, like the Cimbri, might coordinate for a singular migration for new territory, but for the exclusive pastoralist, their whole existence was migration. Groups such as the Goths and Vandals might settle down, and become primary producers again, but pure pastoralists probably required some natural level of predation and extortion upon settled peoples to obtain a lifestyle beyond marginal subsistence. Which is to say that some of the characterizations of Late Antique barbarians as ad hoc configurations might apply more to steppe hordes.”—

Indian Diffusion in to SE Asia
October 14th, 2018 2:37 AM
—–The history of Southeast Asia, or perhaps more accurately the quasi-history of Southeast Asia since so many of the records are from China and elsewhere, indicates strong Indian influence in the period before 1000 AD. The standard model is that this is cultural diffusion. And by and large Southeast Asian peoples are are mostly indigenous. But, a non-trivial minority of their ancestry is recent, but pre-colonial, gene flow from the Indian subcontinent. Additionally, the imprint is easier to see in the Y chromosome than the mtDNA. The legends of marriages between Indian Brahmins and native princesses in places like Cambodia probably do reflect something real in the dynamics of the early Indianization.—

Cultural Differences in Active Warfare Strategies
October 14th, 2018 1:33 PM CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN ACTIVE WARFARE STRATEGIES
—“Curt, are Russians Pragmatists?”—
[R]ussians (Orthodoxy) learned from Mongols (Brutality) and Bolshevik Jews (Propaganda, and Polluting the CIvic Informational Well) that the CHEAPEST WARFARE is gossip and undermining (propaganda and ideology). The gradual decay of the will of the people to care for and defend one another. Just as judaism and christianity undermined the roman empire, allowing the north (germans) and east (muslims) to invade in times of weakness due to over expansion, the Russians (orthodox, mongols) and the Bolsheviks (Jewish Socialists and Communists) understood that they don’t need to do anything to the west except sew dissent by feeding envy. The west runs on trust, risk taking, commons, and rule of law. It is the most difficult and expensive set of norms to develop. Because commons have higher returns(multipliers) than private investments. All Enemies have to do is destroy the trust between the classes (martial, priesthood, burgher, labor), and the cultural, economic and military advantage of the west (commons) is destroyed. Russians are not pragmatists, they are persistent goal oriented, expansionist underminers, who wait, then invade and hold territory in a rush, and destroy the capital structure, and take possession of all assets. Russians are at present only a power becauase of their inventory of missiles. But they have a tiny economy unable to wage war, or even produce weapons in sufficient numbers to conduct current warfare on other than a narrow channel into russian territory. Russians did the same thing in Crimea twice now that they did in the caucuses twice now. They are doing the same thing in ukraine: keep raiding, funding dissent, informational undermining, blowing up industry, blowing up ammunition, conducting assassinations, setting arson fires, and when the West is in a moment of weakness they will expand to at least the Dnipr if not all the way to the mountains. Because with the mountains they can reach south again. 1 – The Chinese slowly move, assimilate, and boil the frog. 2 – The Russians(Mongols) undermine, and then seize opportunities. 3 – The Jews and muslims (Semites) invade, undermine, and seize opportunities from within. 4 – The Hindus (Hindu) do nothing except take care of themselves. 5 – The West (Christian Monarchies) is optimistic and stupid and fights as if we are still fighting our own. 6 – And america has spent a century trying to preserve the british empire so that everyone could evolve into a good international citizen at the cost of much blood and treasure, and so that we never have another world war. Unfortunately, the CHinese, Russians, Semites (jews and muslims), and now the frenc-german alliance, are cumulatively making that ORDER impossible. The primary reason? Hispanic immigration. THat’s right. With that threat we cannot maintain the martial civic order that exports that power. We are done. Curt Doolittle

Communist Rules for Revolution
October 14th, 2018 2:12 PM FWIW: This is an interpretation of Communist Strategy produced at the end of WW2. We do not in fact know the author. But it was first published in the USA. The fact that communists don’t own up to it, doesn’t mean it isn’t the plan. Like “The Protocols” these are western articulations of the operational objectives of Abrahamic, Communist and now Postmodern and Feminist speech. So “Communist Denialism” of a QUOTE, isn’t the same as the operational description of Communist Tactics spoken in Abrahamic (Sophist) Code. —Communist Rules for Revolution–
Corrupt the young, get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial. Destroy their ruggedness.
Get control of all means of publicity.
Get people’s minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and other trivialities.
Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.
Destroy the peopleâs faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and obloquy.
Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit and produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.
Foment unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders, and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders.
By specious argument cause the breakdown of the old moral virtues, honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.
Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to confiscating them and leaving the populace helpless.

The vast majority of civilizations evolved to produce #NPC’s en mass. Western Civilization alone evolved to produce AGENCY en mass (Truth, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Property, Markets). The problem is, we were optimistic about the percentage of HOSTs able to run AGENCY vs SCRIPTS.
