Monarchy has been the default and most durable form of existing government (fact) – kinship or near kinship rule.
The jury is in and monarchies were superior to democracy. (Although that’s been known since before Plato wrote it down. The reason he wrote the republic was because it was clear that the experiment in democracy had failed.)
There are really only three choices of rule:
1 – Kin(Monarchy-Aristocracy-Violence),
2 – Corporation(Committee-Bureaucracy-Payment), and
3 – Cult(priesthood-cult-gossip/inclusion/exclusion.)
And all civilizations make use of some combination in some priority.
Generally it’s been Kin(wealth) -> Corporation(industry) <- Cult(Poverty).
The american experiment was Kin->Corporation->Cult
In the modern world it’s Cult ->Corporation->Kin.
Iran is trying to restore Cult->Kin->Corporation.
You can describe any culture by that priority stack.
The lesson of tripartism (Classes) is
1 – Monarchy: Kin-Judicial-Martial Paternal.
2 – Corporation: Universal – Commercial – Ascendant Male
3 – Cult: universal-supernatural-Maternal
Ponder that for a bit.

Scary. COBOL. It’s as old as I am. Although, I did learn it in school, and did make quite a bit of money during the ‘date crisis’ indirectly, and, it is verbose yes, but it’s really only good (IMO) for hierarchical databases. (Hierarchical > Relational > Document) And hierarchical databases are pretty good for financial activity, for the simple reason that accounting is a hierarchical problem. But man…. getting paid to do that today? ugh. Every time you use an atm or a credit card (or do anything with the government) you’re hitting a cobol application. And they can take hundreds of millions of dollars (if not billions) to replace. On the other hand, do you know how many guys in their 60’s and 70’s work part time at $100+ per hour fixing trivial bugs or implementing ‘tweaks’, or minor feature changes? All the high-return money is made at the front AND ends of the curve. All the low return money at the top of the curve. Look at Java. Java is a sh-t language. but that sh-t will be around forever. Companies like it because it’s a high cost of entry language. While I adored OOP, my favorite more recent innovation is fluent programming. I think functional is an understandable technique for reducing memory and pressing all variables onto the stack, lightening cleanup, and obtaining performance, both functional programming and closures are very ‘dirty’ … Man I don’t want to have to pay devs to debug that sh-t ten years from now. I actually love LISP/PASCAL/Python/Php. I think .net, java. and js were sh-t technologies attempting to compensate for operating systems designed for long running processes on slow hardware. When the internet consists and needs short running (transactional) processes that interact with longer running services and caches. js is still a sh-t language. And the combination of the browser standards and that js standards are inhibiting innovation. We write an absurd number of lines of tests to compensate for what is a sh-t language. Php is still the very closest ‘language’ to a de facto ‘language’. And that is why I like it. Stringy(scripty) languages are very close to natural language grammar, and we can deflate them into every subsidiary grammar. But we cannot inflate a deflationary grammar into natural grammar very easily. Once you have objects over data types, and all your internal data stored in json (hierarchical strings masquerading as arrays, and once you have hierarchical, relational, and document databases, (it would be nice if there was one db that served all purposes) then there aren’t a lot of problems you can’t solve. There will often if not always be some need for purely mathematical applications that must perform very large scale computations, and those projects are best suited for functional programming. Otherwise, we are just in an interesting era where the browser technology is actually holding back innovation for the simple reason that standards committee’s do that. we need the option for bytecode distribution from any ‘better’ language than js. Or Js needs to evolve faster and leave behind the sh-t language era. -

Were There White Slaves In The Us?
Indentured servitude is/was a contractual form of voluntary slavery, with exit , and indentured servants were a substantial part of the early colonies.
The sex-slave trade in white women was common, and was only finally outlawed in 1910.
THE ECONOMY SHIFTS, THE CONDITIONS REMAIN
All of these forms of slavery were extant from the earliest records in almost every agrarian civilization.Take your pick:
SERIES: Undomesticated Human Animal > Chattel Slavery(Property) > Slavery(servitude) > Serfdom (partial independence) > Economic Slavery(Wage Labor) > Tax Slavery (Citizen)> Jurisdictional Slavery(Government) > “Cult” slavery(Religion).
Serfdom = Inability to exit taxation. Slavery=inability to exit, period.
HIGH MINDEDNESS
We take credit for high mindedness, but the truth of the matter is, that slavery occurs out of economic necessity, and the reason it disappeared was the black plague, the early modern agrarian revolution, the early industrial revolution, and late industrial revolutions, that made it economically preferential to have employees and customers rather than slaves.Rule of historical analysis: never assume people do things out of good nature. They do things because it’s feasible and they want to obtain virtue signals as means of displaying conspicuous consumption.
The human intuitionistic and biological accounting system is just status signals.

The Damage The Liberals Do
During the 1600’s,1700’s,and early 1800’s Connecticut was one of the best places to live in human history outside of small regions of west france, and southern england. But perhaps even better than those. The connecticut river valley is comparable in many ways to the Loire, but less exhausted by the presence of man. Today, it is a post industrial, post socialist, bankrupt, business-hostile, job-absent, dysgenic, ungovernable, wasteland of capital-flight, both industrial, material, human, cultural, and intellectual. It is detroit on a state scale. America is collapsing one city at a time. That’s why it’s so hard to see. It’s not collapsing like the great depression, where we could fix it with debt. It’s collapsing into Brazil, and for the same reasons: It’s just genetic. -
