    WHY RUSSIA AND DUGIN?
    Dugin is not stupid. He’s versed in science, philosophy and theology. He knows exactly what he’s doing and why he chooses scientific, philosophical, and religious frames deliberately at the items that he does. But just as Heidegger tried to reverse verb and noun, and Hegel longed for the peace of the farm, and Kant tried o create a secular theology, Duggin yearns for the simplicity of peasant life and insulation from a modernity that Russia cannot evolve into – without the trust necessary. Modernity is dependent upon trust and trustworthiness. That’s why europeans can do it, and so many others can’t.

    Same reason he appeals to right wing americans.
    They’re longing for a past because they’re not brave enough to fight for the future.

    DUGIN REPEATING GERMAN, RUSSIAN, AND PLATO’S FAILURES
    He’s just trying to repeat Hegel and Heidegger and justify returning to a world of an authorarian paternal state and maternal church, putting their heads in the agrarian sand, because Russian civilization is so low trust after the communists and Putin, that they have lost confidence (as is India now) that a future of self-respect is possible. Because they can only ‘fake’ self-respect as a ‘religion’ now. Russia keeps failing. It keeps failing for the same reasons. Christianity will prepare you for a majority middle-class civilization, if and only if you use the law and courts and good governance to suppress public and private corruption long enough for trust to develop and that middle class to emerge. Russians aren’t trustworthy, and so they aren’t trusting. That’s why it’s still a family-and-frends civ and not a political one. They’re still backward.
    (And yes I love them but that doesn’t change a thing.)

    True.
    But, why are we the victims of propaganda? Because people who set out do undermine our civilization with intent and design succeeded? Or are we to blame for letting them do so because of our Christian tolerance?

    I always blame the person in the mirror.
    We let it happen.
    Because we didn’t stop it.
    Now we have to stop it.
    And stop it when it’s far harder more costly, and requires the labor of reconstruction to restore it.

    I kinda like ‘restoration of old construction’ and it’s just a matter of getting enough people together that. ‘many hands make light work’ of it. 😉

    I’m trying to provide the education my people were deprived of, so that they could be converted from competent citizens into incompetent subjects.

    No. Really.

    Behavior, economics, law, group strategy, comparative civilization, the reason the west always outpaced the rest, how the enemy created the present crisis, and how to solve it.

    (Yeah. I know you don’t care about all the methodology and logic stuff. But I do. Everything else is just a product of it. So please put up with my fascination. 😉 )

    CURT: “DEMOCRACY IN INDIA?”

    I’m not quite sure what you’re asking by ‘how democracy works in India?”

    If you want a general answer as to why indians ‘get along’ its that Hindu civilization and ‘religion’ is extremely plastic with clear duties responsibilities and such (like a social army almost) and it’s been that way so long, and has survived so many attempts by invaders to change it,that it’s just durable.,

    It’s also a ‘nice’ religion. Really. SOmewhat to the military and strategic disadvantage of indians.

    India is an old civilization but a relatively new country, and as a country it faces the problem of scale. It needs to ‘break up’ in to a federation with more local autonomy. But it can’t until corruption is suppressed, and the Hindu-islam problem is solved.

    Of late, India is doing much better economically, but it is returning to relative autocracy (by western standards, not necessarily true).

    The ‘truthful’ answer is that Islam has been and remains a threat to India, so the government is doubling down on religiosity in order to gradually suppress Islam and the threat of Islam to any and all civilized peoples.

    So, even with that question, India like Islam, faces the problem that as a new country, the corruption created by both their soviet-era, and post-soviet liberal era, have led to a sufficient loss of faith in government, that they are backsliding into religiosity.

    IMO India will be fine. But they must do whatever possible to create a Hindu civilization state that gradually eliminates Islam so that the jewish/woke-cult vs europeans that crushes political systems is not replicated in india.

    No evidence of it at all in history. Instead everywhere at every time, a middle-class upper middle class, or lower upper class group with common interests devises a means of rotation of elites, and ‘sells’ the bottom classes on making it happen. Like always labor is organized it…
