  • “Getting To Denmark”

    I don’t have the luxury of those arguments because I’m not trying to make excuses for the past, only to correct the present, and prevent catastrophes in the future. The fact that a people can do well in a germanic country says nothing about them and everything about the germanic country. The question I want to solve is HOW DO YOU MAKE DENMARK WITHOUT DANES? “Getting To Denmark” is a ‘term of art’ or ‘term of convenience’ so to speak in political theory. It means, how do you produce a technologically advanced, high trust polity with high tolerance for redistribution and low political conflict.

    As I’ve said before, the ratio of police to citizens is very low, and the number of casualties they will absorb before they stay in the barracks or stay home is under ten percent. They are not 19 year old single male soldiers, with combined arms, but 105 IQ working class high dominance men with families, getting overpaid with good pensions – they are mercenaries and mercenaries always fold. In a PLANNED revolution, everything depends on the demands. Make moral demands that solve the problems of political, social, and economic conflict, and those who choose sides will act rationally by those incentives not out of fear and uncertainty. In chaos people will hold order as long as they hold confidence. All humans are predictable. The proletarian anarchists will tie down the national guard and the police. If the working and middle classes are told to store food and water and medicine for three months, they have the money and credit to do so. The underclass anarchists do not. If the disruption is sufficient for the regular military to be called, the financial markets and foreign powers will do the rest. Never fight a battle directly. Scribe the dike and let the sheer weight of the water do the work. With the right direction and incentives the military will achieve in government what is in their and the people’s interests.

  • There has never been a civilization more fragile, and a government so weak.

    You see, they swarm through an urban area, shoot out the transformers or short the wires with chain, turn on then break the hydrants eliminating water pressure, start interior fires in every building they pass. Hammer open the cash machines, load up on food from the markets, and entrap and decimate first responders, and then just keep moving. Amidst the chaos they empty the banks, and with sufficient numbers take the armories. It’s when they’re dramatic rather than practical that they lose. Now, they had a minimum of 30k men, and possibly a maximum of 200k men. What do you think would happen with one, two, or five million men? There are four hours of power, maybe three days of water, five to seven days of food, and without electronic transfers and distributions, millions of malcontents with pent up anger and ready violence to exacerbate the chaos. If men spread out into a small number of large groups in a series of cities it will take less than three weeks. Revolutions are always suspect in prospect but deterministic in retrospect. And those are just the revolutions that are unplanned. The era of state warfare is over. They have proven it. There has never been a civilization more fragile, and a government so weak. (Let a thousand nations bloom.)

  • The Best Revolutions Are Those that Are Resolved out Of Fear of Fighting, Not Those that Are Fought.

    The best way to prevent a violent revolution is to submit an equitable proposal for the resolution of conflicts, and to create the absolute certainty that the status quo will end violently otherwise. The best revolutions are those that are resolved out of fear of fighting, not those that are fought.
