  • The best way to prevent a violent revolution is to submit an equitable proposal

    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.

    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.

  • A NOTE FOR REVOLUTIONARIES ON AMMO —“Basic combat load is 7, 30 round magazine

    A NOTE FOR REVOLUTIONARIES ON AMMO

    —“Basic combat load is 7, 30 round magazines. It has been for a very long time. “—

    But when you state it as “200 rounds” people get a better idea of how few rounds that is. And Americans still too frequently run down on ammunition in a defensive firefight.

    —“Ignoring the basic correct answer is 210 rounds for the M4, here is a real combat load after 18 months before, during and after the surge in Iraq. I was a combat medic in an infantry unit deployed to a high tempo battlezone. We rolled outside the wire at least 5 days a week and often multiple times a day. About 1/4 of those would see some degree of combat. I carried a 30lb lite aid bag in addition to 10 magazines on my rack and drop pouches. Additionally my hot mag was a double and my main aid bag stayed on our vehicle with another 4 mags along with 65 lbs of medical gear. Long range patrols and extended ops were a bitch for me but after running out of ammo in one fight everything changed. I started dropping other gear from my load and replacing everything I could with composite material. I carried more than anyone but the squad gunner but it came in handy for others as well.I can function for 2 days without water. I can survive almost a week without food. My life expectancy in a firefight while out of ammo isn’t shit. In combat every bullet is a chance to save a life.”— Anon.

    In other words, he carried, 60 round hot mag, 10 30 round mags and 4 spare 30 round mags. 60 + 300 + 120 = 480. (My estimate of defensive ammo reserve from everything I’ve read is 600 rounds per man), and also from what I’ve read, no less than double that for a light machine gunner.

    Patrol is very dangerous. It’s searching for the enemy by presenting yourself as a target (bullet magnet). I prefer the Russian method: saturate the ground with artillery, roll in with equipment, destroy anything standing, kill everything that moves, and mop up the remainder on foot. The best way to hold territory is when everything other than you is pebbles, soot, splinters, or dead.

    –“Seven (7) mags was your “naked walking around load” and at no time was I more than a short distance away from an additional 10 mags. Point being, historically, I’m sure there was a prescribed basic load for the Italian military of the time but nobody ever says they had too much ammo in a firefight.”– Will Harm

    DECEPTION BY CONFLATION: INFLATING AUTHORITY

    There is no such thing as legitimacy other than the legitimacy of a child. There is no such thing as validity other than a stamp of certification. In argument there is only soundness, and soundness is not a proxy for true, simply for reasonableness – meaning it’s understandable and so far not false.

    Now, I’m all for regime change in iran and the gradual rescue of our persian cousins from the arab conquest. And a non-nuclear, and militarily limited iran as the center of the northern states is ok. A nuclear and armed iran as that center isn’t tolerable.

    It means they are rebelling against everyone else for their low sexual, social, economic, and political market value, because of their genetic, behavioral, and aesthetic inferiority.

    That’s actually the reason.

    LIBERTARIANISM FAILS BUT SOVEREIGNTY DOESN’T

    —“How does libertarian/anarcho capitalism and aim to prevent company cooperation? If four health companies decided that they would hike prices and violently attack competition, what would stop them? They are health companies so can’t be boycotted.”—- Quora User

    Well, let’s keep in mind that Libertarianism is just Pilpul (Sophistry) for the suggestible but morally disposed. And so we can’t take anything Mises, Rothbard, or Hoppe or their anglo equivalents very seriously. While their work has grains of truth here and there, it’s only to obscure it’s falsehoods, deceptions, impossibilities and malincentives.

    Instead, if we simply look at western SOVEREIGNTY meaning RULE OF LAW, under RULE OF LAW of Torts, we individually own some things, familially own others, privately organize to own others, and publicly organize to own others. The only open community property we can seize is the opportunity created by the vast decrease in opportunity cost created by our the combination of our proximity and demand for reciprocity.

    So that without the state to interfere by providing license (privileges) to families, individuals, organizations, corporations of all kinds, then individuals and groups could bring suits in courts against violations of reciprocity (natural law) in any of those forms of property.

    As such while governments originally provided limited liability insurance that limited liability to the money invested in the corporation, they also granted all sorts of privileges by denying individuals and groups the right to sue private and public organizations for personal, private, and public property violations in the markets for goods, services, and information.

    So there is no reason you couldn’t organize a group of people to produce a ‘class action’ against a polluter, or a market manipulator under Rule of Law.

    The fact that you can’t today, means that we do not live under rule of law, but rule by legislation.
