‘Related to these differences was a peculiar status system. England had no formal blood nobility, while such a nobility did develop in France. It was true that ‘England had an aristocracy as powerful as any in Europe – more powerful perhaps…’ At the top was a narrow group of earls and ‘barons’, who were in the thirteenth century being endowed with privileges. Yet somehow these privileges took a different shape from those on the Continent. They were ‘of an almost exclusively political and honorific nature; and above all, being attached to the ‘fief de dignite’, to the “honour”, they were transmissible only to the eldest son. In short, the class of noblemen in England remained, as a whole, more a “social” than a “legal” class. Although, of course, power and prestige lay with this group, it was ‘too ill-defined not to remain largely open.’ Thus ‘In the thirteenth century, the possession of landed wealth had been sufficient to authorize the assumption of knighthood, in fact to make it obligatory.’ Therefore ‘in practice, any family of solid wealth and social distinction’ never ‘encountered much difficulty’ in obtaining permission to use hereditary armorial bearings.
Bloch’s story is that there was a confusion of ranks up to the Norman invasion, and during the crucial twelfth and thirteenth century England did not move in the continental direction. No nobility based on law and blood, no incipient ‘caste’ in Tocqueville’s sense, emerged. This, as his predecessors had argued, gave the English aristocracy their enduring flexibility and power. ‘It was mainly by keeping close to the practical things which give real power over men and avoiding the paralysis that overtakes social classes which are too sharply defined and too dependent on birth that the English aristocracy acquired the dominant position it retained for centuries.’
Much of the continent moved towards Tocqueville’s caste and absolutism. For particular reasons one island retains a balance of forces and a dynamic tension between parts of the institutional structure. This would provide shelter for the inventions and ideas of its larger European neighbours’

THE GERMANIC METHOD OF CALCULATING DESCENT THROUGH BOTH MALE AND FEMALE LINES
via Lisa Outhwaite
‘Maitland was well aware that the current anthropological orthodoxy, for instance in the work of Sir Henry Maine, was that all societies, including the Teutonic peoples, had gone through a period of agnatic kinship, that is, descent flowing through the male gender, leading to the formation of powerful clans or, as anthropologists call them, unilineal descent groups. Yet detailed study of Tacitus and the codes of the Anglo-Saxons and other materials did not bear out this evolutionary sequence. Maitland first worked back to the thirteenth century text of Bracton, which showed a system of tracing descent through both males and females which is identical to that which is used in England today.5 He then took the analysis back to the Anglo-Saxon period. In a section on ‘Antiquities’ he showed that Anglo-Saxon kinship was bilateral or cognatic, tracing descent through both genders, and hence the formation of exclusive groups or clans which could have been the basis for political and legal action, was impossible.
Thus ‘we ought not to talk of clans at all’ for ‘our English law’. Such groups could not act as the bedrock of the politico-legal system. Whatever the earliest unrecorded history, ‘What seems plain is that the exclusive domination of either “father-right” or “mother-right”…should be placed for our race beyond the extreme limit of history.’ The absence of the patriarchal or patrilineal family, he argued had nothing to do with Christianity – its emergence ‘we certainly cannot ascribe to the influence of Christianity.’ The Germanic method of calculating descent through both male and female lines, preserved in England, was very different from the method of calculating through the male line alone, characteristic of the later Roman Empire even after the spread of Christianity.’

Told you so.
—“So has the fact that, whenever women enter a field or profession, that field or profession will start going downhill in terms of both prestige and income.”— Van Creveld
Martin also predicts (as do I) the re-separation of genders in education.

TO THE IDIOTS WHO DISAGREED: “TAKE THE COUNTRYSIDE AND THE CITIES WILL FALL.”
Martin van Creveld is one of the top two military historians living today and was responsible for correctly predicting the rise of terrorism, and as a consequence 4GW (4th Generation Warfare). He has posted an article by William Lind – the man behind popularizing the arrival of 4GW.
And so when I say (a) it would be easy, (b) I would copy mao, and (c) the military and first responders would not resist (hard) if (d) they were given set of constitutional demands more desirable than the present.
I have absolute confidence (certainty) in our success. Not because we would march on Washington. But because Washington is irrelevant. The military will take Washington of its own accord. Because we will ask them to.
The blue sh-tholes would fall of their own accord and be consumed from within.
No cash machines.
No EBT cards.
No power.
No data.
No food.
No heat.
So don’t take it from me. Take it from one of the most knowledgeable men alive.
We would, and will, win.
Show up.
—“At that point, in the vast electoral sea that is red America, the legitimacy of the system itself, i.e., the state, will be brought into serious question. And when that happens, the chance of Fourth Generation war here on a large scale will rise dramatically. When you tell people they cannot achieve representation through ballots, they start to think about doing it with bullets.
That electoral map, the one that shows the results of the 2016 election by county, has significant military meaning. The blue votes are concentrated in cities, which cannot feed themselves. As Chairman Mao said, “Take the countryside and the cities will fall.” Nor can they be supplied from the sea, because most of the people in the military are Trump supporters, which means the red side will get most of the ships and planes. The military problem is really quite simple, and need involve virtually no shooting or destruction. You just put the cities under siege and wait for the starving people to come out. It won’t take long.
The message to Washington is clear and direct: if President Trump is driven from office by anything other than a loss in the 2020 election (if he runs), the legitimacy of the state will be brought into question. That is a dangerous business that politicians of both parties would be wise to avoid. After all, they will be the first people hanged from the nearest lamppost if widespread 4GW comes here. An impeachment that leads to the checkpoints going up all over rural America is a very bad idea.”— William Lind
