(cultural observations) I really love my people. Although we are far too easily the victims of carbs and sugar – and apparently alcohol combined with a desire to work and produce as a means of not only status and utility, but entertainment. I’m in a place right now where there are a lot of germanic looking short folks with blond, dirty blonde, and light brown hair (clearly kin), who are all short, barrel chested, and decidedly middle class. I love these people. Really. But damnit if weight is not the curse of my people.

Left Feminine vs Right Masculine Language Bias
by John Mark Leftist/feminine language: “We (often assuming there exists a ‘we’ when in reality there is no unity) should do X.” Often there is no “because”, and if there is, it is “because feelings/emotion/short-term niceness/tolerance/pain relief.” The “because” virtually never includes a full accounting of costs. Right-wing/masculine language: “We (our unified group, or groups with a common incentive) must not do X even though not doing X places some limits on some people, because if we do X, bad things will happen (full accounting of costs).”

Civil War’s Incentive Is Looting
Everyone virtue signals, but the truth is that the principle motivation for participation in war is looting. Loot is an incredibly exciting incentive for the disenfranchised male. So political objectives can most often be accomplished not thru demonstrations of force before the government, marching in the street before the citizenry, or fighting in the streets against opponents, but instead by the systematic looting and burning of homes and businesses, of opponents, whether private, commercial, or public. Looting is necessary for the continuous supply and survival of a group of any size. From food, ammunition, and fuel, to cash, to valuables, to toys. The more looting the more burning the less order the faster the demands are met. Especially when those demands are military coup.

The problem of coordinated action isn’t difficult. The sufficient opportunity is
The problem of coordinated action isn’t difficult. The sufficient opportunity is. And what do once the opportunity is exploited is. You know the story of the greyhound that catches the Rabbit (lure) – and has no idea what to do with it? That’s the Right. That’s what I’m fixing.

(cultural observations)
I really love my people. Although we are far too easily the victims of carbs and sugar – and apparently alcohol combined with a desire to work and produce as a means of not only status and utility, but entertainment. I’m in a place right now where there are a lot of germanic looking short folks with blond, dirty blonde, and light brown hair (clearly kin), who are all short, barrel chested, and decidedly middle class. I love these people. Really. But damnit if weight is not the curse of my people.
