    MINIMIZE RATHER THAN MAXIMIZE ECONOMIC ENTANGLEMENT

    —“I sympathize, therefore, with those who would minimize, rather than with those who would maximize, economic entanglement among nations. Ideas, knowledge, science, hospitality, travel–these are the things which should of their nature be international. But let goods be homespun whenever it is reasonably and conveniently possible, and, above all, let finance be primarily national. Yet, at the same time, those who seek to disembarrass a country of its entanglements should be very slow and wary. It should not be a matter of tearing up roots but of slowly training a plant to grow in a different direction.

    For these strong reasons, therefore, I am inclined to the belief that, after the transition is accomplished, a greater measure of national self-sufficiency and economic isolation among countries than existed in 1914 may tend to serve the cause of peace, rather than otherwise. At any rate, the age of economic internationalism was not particularly successful in avoiding war; and if its friends retort, that the imperfection of its success never gave it a fair chance, it is reasonable to point out that a greater success is scarcely probable in the coming years.”—

    IF YOU ARE BEING OFFERED A CONCLUSION, YOU ARE NOT BEING PRESENTED WITH NEWS.
    by Luke Weinhagen

    “Journalist” is an honorable title for those exposing themselves to risk in pursuit or defense of the truth.

    Parasites like Mr. Stelter, who claim the title without the risk (or even worse, complain at the merest hint of risk), are enemies twice over.

    First, in sacrificing truth for their own rewards, and second, deceiving the rest of us with claims that the truth is being defended.

    Reminder – if you are being offered a conclusion, you are not being presented with news.

    —“Don’t you think Putin will leave the presidency first, and there won’t be anyone left to overthrow?

    It’s not about Putin — it’s about the system. Putin is just a brand, a label for the system. Putin will sit there until he’s done his time, and then the system will grow another Putin. A successor who will really be the same old Putin in practice, just under another name.

    Isn’t it Putin who makes the key decisions in that system?

    Yeah, it’s Putin. But the system will create another person who will let it be just as much of a parasite feeding on the neck of the Russian people. I personally believe that we will live to see happier times, though.”—

And this is not only true for individuals, but also for generations: we must give meaning to our own generation. Or we must understand the meaning that has been assigned to us.”—

    COOPERATION BETWEEN GENDERS IS ONLY USEFUL UNTIL IT’S NOT.

    —“Look after ourselves, put our needs first, do whatever we want with our time, you know, just live like a man..”—@alison__wright

    Living “like a man”, during our evolution, in prehistory, in ancient history, and right up until the european era, frequently involved treating women as another domesticated animal – property to be used in his interests. If men want to put our needs first AGAIN, it’s EASY. OK?

    You mean, you MAY as long as it’s in our interests not to revert to prior techniques, and to END the experiment in female defense under rule of law, choice of her fertility, property rights, participation in economic production, freedom of speech, and political enfranchisement.

    Never presume we are equal. The first resource is time, and the second is violence, and cooperation only comes into play when it is more rewarding over time, to cooperate rather than engage in predation. Women have rights and privileges, just like the weak do: it’s just cheaper.

    So don’t make it too ‘expensive’ to ‘tolerate’ you.

    Have we had enough dose of reality yet? Ok. Good. Now have a pat on the head and go back to playing with the garden – that men have made for you.
