    (Trying to resist the temptation … Can’t…. )

    –“When do criminals ever voluntarily give up their crimes? Worse, when have criminals who have committed crimes against the commons given up their crimes, or even recognized them? Why would we expect men or women who commit such crimes, to give up evading the crimes against the commons of evading military service or the crime of evading reproductive service? No one gives up their crimes – they justify them. They even claim they aren’t crimes. And they make endless excuses to keep committing their crimes – unless we police the crime, prosecute it, punish it, and prevent repetition and imitation of it.”–

    Just had to. 😉

    A police state? How about we just settle for the inability of politicians, public intellectuals, the financial sector, the commercial sector, and the academy to lie to us without repercussions? 😉

    I understand. It’s a class thing. So, likewise, I have the moral obligation to (we don’t mock) discipline the aggressive, incompetent, and ignorant unworthy of pompousness. After all, we must all do our duty by policing the informational, normative, physical, and institutional commons if we are to preserve the pretense of mass democracy as one of potential equality of competency for self-governance, now, don’t we?

    Cheers. 😉
    And Yes I love respect and admire you even if you’re playing tennis here. 😉

    @KonstantinKisin, (all)

    Progressive and Conservative are intentional framings, just like capitalism and socialism: deception by suggestion.

    The question is instead, whether we pursue empiricism and consistency with the laws of universe and of human be havior (truth), or idealism and inconsistency with the laws of the universe and of human behavior (fraud).

    As far as I know the hate-label ‘whiteness’, equals the european group strategy of dependence on evidence, science, reason and the natural law of cooperation (reciprocity).

    As far as I know, the primary if not exclusive technique of the left, whether the abrahamic sequence of religions in the ancient world or teh marxist-to-woke squence in the modern world, relies on the technique of ‘baiting into hazard’ by the ‘false promise’ (fraud) that it is possible to escape (evade) the five laws of the universe:
    1) endless physical scarcity
    2) endless human acquisitiveness, amorality, practicality and status seeking
    3) endless evolutionary mutation, load, selection
    4) endless increases in concepts vocabulary and logic to explain all three.
    5) and the endless necessity of continuous increases in per capital transformation of energy to maintain evolution in a condition of prosperity.

    The only solution to scaling human cooperation and the benefits of doing so is only possible by maximizing incentives for individual action in pursuit of self determination by self determined means by reciprocal insurance of sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, and duty to the commons.

    But our overwhelming amorality in the abscence of norms, traditions, laws, and institutions, is continuously challenged – baited into hazard – by nothing more than fortune tellers, priests, and public ‘intellectuals’.

    Humans operate at the maximum amorality that they can get away with. That’s as necessary a law of nature as is entropy.

    And to make it worse, male acquisition of capital and responsibility in pursuit of status, is the opposite of female acquistion of consumption and irresponsibility in pursuit of status. And this differences is playing out at global scale in every nation that has attempted equality under democracy, because of our experiment with the universal franchise under the false promise of endless economic growth. (Which is reversing with our decliing rates of reproduction.)

    To prevent another abrahamic or marxist dark age, we need to end the ability to sell false promises of freedom from the laws of the universe especially under democxratic participatory government. Because that’s what cults and religions do: generate demand for authority to destroy demonstrated competency with flase promises and credentialism.

    Because they lie, demanding social construction of falsehoods for membership to produce cultural warfare, to undermine meritocracy wherever it exists.

    We know the laws of civilization. The british discovered them with the invention of the modern constitutional rule of law state, by the natural law of cooperation, and the ancient european tradition of sovereignty, responsibility, and tort.

    No more lies.

    (Can you explain this please? Because the cost of post war strategy, bretton woods, and maintaining the rules-based order, world free trade, and constraining aggressor countries, has largely come at the expense of the american laboring, working, and middle classes, through the increase in world manufacturing competition and the export of their jobs, at their expense, while the upper middle and upper classes have captured enormous gains. So you might claim the upper classes have but… I don’t understand how the middle and lower classes have.)

    THE ME REORGANIZATION
    I’m not complaining. I’m describing. US departure from world policing in particular ME, leaves IL a limited window on IR. CN broker of IR&SA agreement swaps democratic US for authoritarian CN. Formally eliminating US need for involvement. My point is that the postwar experiment in world free trade to drag people out of poverty succeeded, but only so long as US paid for it at the cost of US laboring, working, and middle classes. US can’t pay it any longer (Trump). US withdrew from ME. Tried to withdraw from Europe. RU action reformed nato and restored European defense industries that US had been paying for, finally solving that problem. And now the present ‘reorder’ of the world is going on about as expected. With RU, CN, IR, and possibly TR as the relevant hot points. US/CN war almost certain w/in three years. Hard to see IL not move on IR while US not otherwise occupied. US will use the next 3 years to replenish arms supplies. RU will be done at that point. CN should move by then. CN will wipe out both CN and US stocks, but US will win. If IL waits it’s too much of a risk. Multipolar world will arise I assume, by, as predicted, a return to the ‘conflict of civilizations and races’ as Huntington predicted (rather obviously I might add).

  • ISRAEL IS THE LAST HOLDOUT IN THE MIDDLE EAST – AND IT’S ON ITS WAY OUT OF RULE

    ISRAEL IS THE LAST HOLDOUT IN THE MIDDLE EAST – AND IT’S ON ITS WAY OUT OF RULE OF LAW
    (We are all reverting to our pre-industrial traditions, because, it turns out, multiculturalism doesn’t work, globalism doesn’t work, and we can’t even change our methods of governance.)

    Kind of humorous that #Bibi is trying and likely to succeed in turning #Israel into an authoritarian ethnostate, abandoning democracy and the rule of law, given that they’re surrounded by authoritarian ethnostates. Without Israel, the illusion of democracy in the middle east is done. And with it the European (neocon) presumption that the rest of the world could equally ‘grow up’ into responsible world citizens, conducting peaceful cooperative Smithian trade, in imitation of the long history of the many-states of Europe, instead of the chaotic tribalism of their traditions.
    India reverts to Hinduism, china to totalitarianism, Russia to totalitarianism, Iran to totalitarianism, Africa stuck with her border problems (we Europeans created) and a population unable to feed itself, and here in the anglosphere, we see the will to separate once again in to many small germanic states, so that we may have the various different societies we desire, even if we all share the same want of sovereignty, liberty, and freedom, and the prosperity that arises from our rule of law, participatory government, and work ethic.
