Well, it looks like Merkel gave Putin permission, and Putin is now invading Ukraine.

Putin blew it. He completely blew it. What an idiot. He could have had everything, and united us all. He had the western right eating out of his hand. Instead, he re-invented lying, re-demonized russia on the world stage, and gave the west further justification for continuing its war machines.
Freaking idiot.

Marxists assume people will voluntarily work (if they are honest).
Libertines (Libertarians) assume people will voluntarily be honest (if they are honest).
Neocons assume people desire democracy (if they are honest).
And each of those assumptions is clearly false.
Why is it that we accept falsehoods?
Is it nothing more than our genes causing words to come out of our mouths?

[Y]es, we can suggest that liberty is better for all, but that doesn’t stand scrutiny. Yes, liberty,for at least some of us, is a better social order for all. And probably, Liberty for those who desire it, and socialism for those that don’t, is better for all, than liberty for all.
But we do not do what is better for us. We smoke, eat fattening carbs, fail to get exercise, waste time on vapid entertainment, spend money we don’t have, marry bad mates out of fear and desperation, have too many children, practice unsafe sex, operate dangerous machines when intoxicated – including the dangerous machines of our bodies and mouths. And that is just the little stuff.
Liberty is a minority philosophy favored by the natural aristocracy at all levels of society. It cannot ever exist as a majority system outside of a large extended family (tribe). It can exist for that aristocracy, if, as in the past, that aristocracy fights to preserve liberty, and allows all others to join the contract of liberty at will.
But liberty cannot be outsourced any more than can thinking.
Free riding on that level of risk isn’t possible.
