    (FB 1546205219 Timestamp) NO MORE RINSE AND REPEAT by Bill Joslin A complete breakdown of civility creates the circumstance for the right type of militia to rise and out of that the right type of elites to take over. Anything else is a rinse and repeat of what’s always occurred in the past – revolutions as proxies and vassals of stronger sovereigns.

    (FB 1546201719 Timestamp) Libertarians always think small. War is a profitable exercise. For some of us it is our favorite occupation. The problems arise from ruling, colonizing, and commingling. But the lessons of history are unambiguous: the wholesale removal of people from territory is always and everywhere the optimum business venture.

    (FB 1546195671 Timestamp) THIS IS WHY WE DON’T NEED A MOB. by Bill Joslin With the current state of affairs, in the first world, a total breakdown of civility would occur through spontaneous short term, erratic street violence (riots, looting. Which congregated, then disperses to re-congregate elsewhere) inside the OODA-LOOP of authorities. (See Toronto G20 tactics of black bloc) From a standpoint of cybernetics, this creates a circumstance and action with in third parties. Party one: rioters, party two: law enforcement… Party one renders party two ineffective which results in party three (everyone else) to react. Law enforcement will either up-authoritarian tactics (see kettling of Toronto G20 on day three) which makes life unbearable for party three, or if law enforcement doesn’t ramp up authority, continues to demonstrate their ineffectiveness – which party three then loses faith in law enforcement (i.e. status quo) (see Sons of Odin and block watch groups in the UK around emerging no go zones) In other words, men of action – tradesmen, army, engineers (as Tom laid-out) will take matters into their own hands – no out of political ideology, heroism or profit, but rather to protect their loved one, their community and their property. By establishing small territories of peace and security (neighbourhoods, two or three block radius) – other in surrounding areas will migrate too or join in their tactics. Essentially what they do is create the first two commons – monopoly of violence over an area (territory) and trust. (See “warlords” in eastern Ukraine with community courts and patrols)… Naturally, organically, instinctively – they create the very foundation of of the changes we seek – without any affiliation, central command, ideology, thought leaders. What we need to do is ensure they understand what it is they are doing, why they do it, and why they had to do it(property, reciprocity). This is so they don’t seek to re-establish status quo and hand over their safe zones to the old regime – we must show them WHY THEY MUST LEAD and continue to do so. We dont need a mob, an army etc, because good men, in times of need, will stand and defend their loved ones, their kith and kin and Their property. Our societies are not filled with gun owning, would-be-revolutionaries. They are filled with dad’s, husbands, brothers – sheepdogs, who don’t want to see the commons they spend their days building and maintaining totally destroyed for ideological agendas. In the US these guys tend to be the ones who own guns – they tend to also be cautious (because they have something to lose) and tend to be the last to a fight, and the last stand if it can message to that. (Which is why the state of affairs continues unchallenged as of yet) (I’ll take these guys over well versed, well trained, ideologues any day. Zealots chap my ass)

    (FB 1546190998 Timestamp) by Tom McSweeny Talking to the Left doesn’t bring them on side because it doesn’t demonstrate value add/roi nor change their behaviour. The left is happy debating, discussing, talking, letting everyone say their piece and valuing the contribution they made out of principle rather than results, happy with instant grat and short term outcomes supporting their ideologies and ideals: “Would you look at that, the people fleeing their own shithole are happy they are in our green and pleasant lands…didn’t we do good.” And in all fairness: outcome achieved. Long term though, that way lies death. We play the long game: the survival of our people (eugenic conquest through space and time). Arguing with the short term gamers is like listening to a spiced soy latte t-shirt commie: “Pleeeease, can’t you just see this is the better way”. Fuck that. That’s not us. We don’t need to make the case to them, we are the case. We are largely also the current leverage holders (tradesman: rw, army: rw, engineers: rw). Why is that? Because we are those who deal in reality, as is. So how do we red pill them that will not listen? Well, people believe what they do rather than do what they believe. We win by demonstrating, offering the opportunity for them to mimic us, and personally assisting with training each other (which is what these ongoing convs online are). Talk means nothing. But taking the young woman currently “fun timing” her way down the value ladder and showing her there is plenty to enjoy without long term cost, or the skinny soy boy cringe and showing him with a bit of effort he too can be the chad family man with ten loving kids, a hundred loving grandkids, be stacked and rich…that how we do it. Let us recall Jesus’s statement: “I am the way and the truth and the life”. And remember we are seeking to provide what we can demonstrate to be the best way for all concerned. If the opportunity is there, then the only thing left to say is “fuck them” if they don’t take it.

    Approach -> …..Doesn’t scale beyond

    Socialism -> …. Family Democracy ->.. Neighborhood Civility -> ……… Polity

    One level higher :

    Empathy -> Race / Ethnic group Trying to deduce others’ feelings/intentions by using your own thought process only gives reliable results if the thought processes are similar. “They would never lie to us…” <— projection : I would never lie to them. Interestingly, we can also use those as a confirmation tests. If socialism doesn’t work, your family boundaries are wrong. If civility doesn’t work, the polity boundaries are wrong, etc.

    (FB 1546611466 Timestamp) PUTTING YOUR TRUST IN ONE GOVERNMENT ORDER OR ANOTHER? You have to choose whether to trust the self interest of the judicial ‘priesthood’, the self interest of the monarchy, the self interest of the ruling oligarchy, or the self control of the democratic polity, or the self interests of public intellectuals. My argument is that you can’t trust any of them, and that the judicial priesthood benefits from ‘maintaining the rules of the game’, but if and only if the military will back them up. Why? The judiciary is a purely via-negativa discipline: it advocates nothing, and only resolves conflicts. It is already privileged. It is already high status. It is operationally selective (failure is quickly obvious and resolved), and failure of members is against the interest of the whole, who police it well through hierarchical review. The central issue in limiting the judiciary and preserving its freedom from via-positiva action, is nothing more than insufficiently enumerated terms of decidability. And that’s what i’ve done. Provided that completeness. -Curt Doolittle
