    (FB 1542062393 Timestamp) HBDCHICK’S SUMMARY OF BIPARTITE MANORIALISM AND ITS REACH ‏ @hbdchick the main feature of bipartite manorialism in medieval europe was the dual, conjoined arrangement of the central manor farm (the demesne) along with the attached individual farms of the tenants, with the tenants owing labor on the demesne (later rent)… …tenants were independently responsible for the success of their own farms, i.e. w/the production of foodstuffs for themselves (to be self-sufficient iow) as well as for producing a certain amount of foods and products for the manor (agricultural, but also things like cloth)… …another extremely important aspect of bipartite manorialism, tho, was the curious feature of common arable fields in which tenants were allotted certain furrows to farm alongside and inbetween the furrows of the demesne… …these furrows were the tenants’ farms (alongside whatever garden they might have). in the early days of manorialism, the furrows/farms were not passed down within families, but “reassigned” each generation. over time tenancies became inheritable and eventually… …the common field system disappeared and farms were restructured to be more like free-standing units (although still within the manor system), but for a good 500-1000 years, depending on the region, the common field system was in place… …however, in order to avoid any tragedies of commons, tenants came together on village councils to agree upon plans for planting and the grazing of animals in fallow fields, etc. here from Tradition and Transformation in Anglo-Saxon England (https://books.google.com/books?id=_SlMAQAAQBAJ …): …the same practices were found in other regions of nw europe which saw bipartite manorialism + open field systems. here on vaine pâture in nw france:hbd chick added, (oh, sorry. forgot. “CPrRs” are “common property regimes.” these collective village institutions that governed open fields and common pastures.) …and, again, here are the regions in nw “core” europe where bipartite manorialism/open field systems were found:hbd chick added, here you go. core europe. the dark regions of communal open fields (i.e. regions that had bipartite manorialism during the middle ages). from Regions, Institutions, and Agrarian Change in European History… by the time manorialism got to east germany (east of the elbe) it was a purely rent-based system. individual tenant farmers working their own farms and paying cash rents. (further east in russia it was often extended families.) …and the outcome of all this, i think (theorize)? and selecting for behavioral traits related to reciprocal altruism while selecting out traits related to parochial altruism, since these folks were neither living/working in extended family groups or marrying close family members, but, instead, cooperating w/unrelated fellows. btw, some medieval ridge and furrow field systems are still visible in england. here are three from: gloucestershire (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Medieval_Ridge_and_Furrow_above_Wood_Stanway_-geograph.org.uk-_640050.jpg …); buckinghamshire (http://www.heritage-explorer.co.uk/web/he/searchdetail.aspx?id=1488&large=1 …); and worcestershire (https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=654&ei=lNfoW4ynE6LlkgWSqoCIBA&q=common+fields+furrows&oq=common+fields+furrows&gs_l=img.3…1482.5260.0.5427.21.13.0.8.2.0.156.1397.3j9.12.0….0…1ac.1.64.img..1.13.1330…0j0i8i30k1j0i24k1j0i10i24k1.0.8oaGF6jdXv0#imgdii=KJ7ZkoGp3VKs9M:&imgrc=B81gElEVEKUnbM …): and there are even a handful of open field systems still in operation in england today. there’s one in laxton, nottinghamshire. you can read about how the farmers all work together on their manor here!: http://www.laxtonnotts.org.uk/Laxton%20manorial_system.htm … oh, yes. forgot to mention: given that WHEAT was pretty much the main crop of medieval manors w/their common property regimes (i.e. collective village institutions), i can’t see how @ThomasTalhelm et al. argue that rice farming leads to holistic thinking patterns because… …of its collective nature wheat plus oats and rye.

    (FB 1542142388 Timestamp) THEY CAN”T UNDERSTAND US – WE ARE ANTIFRAGILE by John Mark “They have no idea what is coming” —RE: “I thrive on attacks”– Curt This is an area where, from what I can tell, the Left truly does not understand the Right, especially the hard Right. We are antifragile. Because we have agency. A very large percentage (probably a majority) of our group are men of agency. If we did not have it, most of us would not be part of the hard right, because NPCs are incapable of paying the price one must pay – dedication to seeking the truth regardless of cost. Because leftists and NPCs lack agency, they have difficulty grasping what they are dealing with when they encounter a man of agency in the political realm. Most leftists alive today have never dealt with a political opponent like Trump in their lifetimes. (Reagan was a light version, but America was very different then.) The Left has no idea how to handle him except to double down on the same tactics, which merely energize him. My theory is, they underestimate us largely because they cannot imagine being like us. If they were subjected to the shaming they hurl at us, they would cower and conform. They cheer every time they censor one of us successfully, not realizing they are sowing the seeds of their own destruction. Because they are feeding the energy of the antifragile beast: men of agency of the West. Imagine being an NPC. You’ve never questioned the “popular accepted” narrative in your life. How could you have any idea what you’re dealing with when you’re dealing with Men of Agency of the West? They have no idea what’s coming. Just like they had no idea Trump would win, and could not fathom it, they cannot fathom the forces they have awakened by attacking us, our civilization, our honor, and our forefathers’ honor. WE LOVE THE FIGHT.

    (FB 1542219045 Timestamp) THE OTHER GREEK INNOVATION: TRAGEDY —“Nietzsche found in classical Athenian tragedy an art form that transcended the pessimism and nihilism of a fundamentally meaningless world. The Greek spectators, by looking into the abyss of human suffering and affirming it, passionately and joyously affirmed the meaning of their own existence. They knew themselves to be infinitely more than petty individuals, finding self-affirmation not in another life, not in a world to come, but in the terror and ecstasy alike celebrated in the performance of tragedies.”—
