The problem of male-female conflict is the same on both sides. Female and postmodern and feminist control of the academy has led to feminine preference for world order – one that they undrestand – infantilization of both male and female. Childhood is an invention that has been exploited by the enemy just as trust an invention that has been exploited by the enemy, just as free speech is an invention that has been exploited by the enemy. And the liberalism with which western man has treated women is an invention that has been exploited by the enemy. Until the age of maturity you are woman’s problem. At the age of maturity you become men’s problem.
Never again. Our instincts are functionally successful only with in the range we evolved them for. Outside of those ranges they are harmful.
Marriage is the smallest tribe. However it the absolute nuclear family is a middle and upper class capability. Below that the need for traditional intergenerational families is necessary to collect sufficient agency and skill to raise generations.
There is no possible aristocracy of everyone. The anglos got math, logic, language, law, economics, and science, right but mankind wrong. There is no possibility of an aristocracy of everyone. The location-independent absolute nuclear family is limited to those capable of producing sufficient agency and resources to supply a family without assistance from others.
This is almost exclusively western, and within the west, almost exclusively middle class and upward.

The problem of batteries that have the energy density of gasoline, so that the weight of the energy and it’s means of conversion to physical movement. Or more simply, power to weight ratio. Rolling wheels, floating water, lift via air, all make use of land, water, air, to discount the cost of defeating gravity (compared to launching a rocket). If you want the distance coverage of an automobile without refueling (4 hrs), or planes (14 hrs), or boats (HP/.6 pr hr), or ships (150 tons per day or 75T for 8 hrs) we still lack the battery technology. And it is this battery technology that is the principle limitation on mechanical evolution. Hence why biological life forms are so vastly more complicated, but vastly more energy efficient.

[A] picture/example/illustration of reciprocity, the silver rule (or violation of it)…
CEO of a large corporation in America says “I want more profit. One very easy path to that is more warm bodies entering the USA – more people to buy our company’s product/service, and drives down price of labor too! Huge win! (For me and company shareholders.) I care not who they are, just bring in more people!!! If they are more badly behaved/criminal, if they destroy social cohesion, if they drive working class whites out of their neighborhoods, if they demonize white people…I care not. I am insulated from these problems by my wealth (gated community, private jet, homes around the world). So I will donate to politicians (buy them) who will keep the borders open.”
This CEO is doing unto others what he would not have done to himself. He is stealing property (Curt’s accurate expanded definition of property, which includes common property, all those things white working/middle class whites value and have invested in for generations in America). He is violating reciprocity, natural law.

THE ABUSE OF THE TERM “NATION” IN ITS HISTORICAL AND MARXIST-POSTMODERN-FEMINIST CONTEXT
(Note: I try to collapse one of the major the cycles of history here, and repeat the same idea from different angles because while the underlying causes are not that difficult, it seems relatively difficult for most of us. Repetition solves that problem.)
So Nation = A Race or Subrace or Tribal Group of Similar Genetics, Language, Culture, Traditions, Institutions, and Group Evolutionary Strategy. Period.
Everything Else is Just more sophomoric postmodern term abuse.
|RULE| Warriors > Militia > Military (Insurers of Last resort) > Rule(Decidability, monopoly on power) > Government (Management, monopoly on commons) > State (Corporation holding Assets, monopoly on foreign relations) > Empire.
In the context of this discussion, either you have a Nation-State, or an Empire. Nation (people), Nation-State (political order), Empire (multi-national political order).
We use the term International as a shorthand for inter-imperial, stat, and national. Largely because our terminology evolved during the era of nation states dominated by european nation states – each of which was and always has been an empire, forcibly created by napoleon in france, by the invention of total war, and causing the rest of the world to react to scale in order to produce militaries of capability to resist them.
America, Russia, China, and India are Empires. The UK is either a Federation or an Empire, and increasingly demonstrably a Federation. Italy consists of the north and the south – although Federated or Imperial a question unresolved. Spain because – because of her regional conflicts, an empire. France because of Brittany and algeria an empire.
The Universalist (pseudoscientific-marxist and sophist-postmodernist and denialist-feminist) movements attempt to construct a redefinition of terms to fool the idiots into working against their interests by reversing eugenic paternalism.
The Particularist (scientific, empiricist, paternalist) order simply states what exist, and asks us to choose which order is in our interests, advocating the preservation of eugenic paternalism.
It’s not complicated. It’s the pseudoscientists, sophists, denialists, and outright liars and idiots that make the current world APPEAR complicated by layers of loading, framing, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit.
These questions are all open to simple answer. But the dysgenic left kleptocracy attempts to achieve by pseudoscience sophism denialism and deceit, that which the jewish, christians, and islamists achieved by supernaturalism, sophism, denialism and deceit: another dark age, in the multi-millennial war between the eugenic indo europeans, and the dysgenic afro-asiatics.
REVOLT ONE
Indo European Expansion by Heroic Paternal Militarism vs Semitic invention of Religious Resistance
REVOLT TWO
Greco Roman Expansion of Empiricism vs Semitic Religious Resistance
REVOLT THREE
Anglo-European Expansion of Science, Law, Accounting, and Technology vs Semitic Pseudoscientific, Sophist (pseudo-rational), Denialist, Resistance.
Just the eugenic masculine heroic aristocracy against the dysgenic feminine resistance.
Male vs Female at Scale.
Males fight ingroup for position (pack strategy ). Females fight ingroup to Destroy and never stop (herd strategy).
Males fight outgroup to cooperate or destroy. Females encourage outgroup to undermine ingroup. None of this rational choice but purely genetic and evolutionary in influence.
Surviving Europeans, the Conquered Persians, and Lost Indo-Aryans applied the male strategy of colonize and domesticate for profit. Semites (afro-asiatics), apply the female strategy and use disapproval, shaming, ridicule, gossip, and reputation destruction to excite the underclasses to rebel against those who have made their circumstance possible.
The story of Cain and Able is the story of paternal urban agrarian vs maternal herding wanderer. And the different moral intuitions between them and between men and women continue to determine our cyclical competition.
Unfortunately, the female intuition is only useful at social scale, and the male intuition at political scale. And when the feminine wins, as we have seen, the great civilizations are destroyed, just as much from plague and war without but from undermining within.
Version Two
Jews (undermine) > Christians (acquiesce) > Muslims (conquer and replace)
Version Three
Marxists (undermine) > Postmodernists (acquiesce) > Islamists (conquer and replace)
The test of Racial competition of whom only the east asians and indians seem willing to resist by cultural means in india(culturo-centrism), and by state means in china, japan, and Korea (ethnocentrism)
That is the explanation of the cycles of history at scale.
Another nit: Great Men “Candidates” evolve (emerge) in batches, usually over three generations of incentives (really). In other words, the market for great men exists at all times (iron law of oligarchy so to speak). World Communism was such a threat (and it’s legacy still is) that it created demand for great men to both take advantage of it, and to oppose it with Fascism. Everything else that occured within those societies was simply utilitarian. whether we get a Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot is merely a function of utility in the sphere of influences.
And as controversial as it might seem today, Hitler and Mussolini if not Stalin and Mao, will be judged by history quite differently. And it is happening already. Science evolves with the death of the advocates of theories.
As a struggle for expansion during an era of western dominance we skew one bias, and as an attempt to save the core of western civilization in a period of anticipation of decline, we skew yet another.
History is unkind to the consensus of an era. That is because consensus is merely utilitarian – rarely true.
Its not uncommon to see informed debate that the anglos should have stayed out of the wars, rather than contributing to cause and conflict.
Um…. Let me help you: OUTLIERS. Economists are better at explanation post hoc, and historians are better at prediction, for the simple reason that history consists of the analysis of outliers (opportunities in signal), and economics the analysis of regularities (opportunities in noise).
At present it is painfully clear to me that we are both at the most fragile condition any empire has been in history, and we have a surplus of agitated external competitors, and a surplus of agitated internal males ready to seize the opportunity.
If the economics profession measured ALL capital changes and incentives those changes cause, and demand for it’s reallocation, as well as rates of consumption and production, then the profession MIGHT come close to the predictive ability of historians.
But as we have consistently seen, (which I have been measuring since 2002), the opinions of economists (confidence) vary inversely to the predictability of the conditions.
So, it’s not an either or proposition.
Bias Confirmation in History,
Projection in Psychology and Sociology, and;
Cherry Picking in Economics.
Next time you hear an economist say ‘but we don’t try to measure that’, inform him that his position is no different from theologians saying ‘we don’t account for that’.
Nomocracy (Rule of Law) is a Commons. The forms of rule, outlined by Aristotle, describe the cycle of competition to gain a monopoly over the commons (to seize control of it).
Nomocracy exists as a commons.
[Nomocracy, under everyman a Sheriff (contract and criminal law separated from legislative and regulatory institutions), exists as a commons, where all contribute via participation in lawful behaviour, as well as execution of the law and all who do so reap the benefits – a type of property.)]
An end to the many *-ocracies (forms of rule which monopolize law) could end civilizational cycles.
