WHY DO WE NEED RELIGION: ALONENESS: MINDFULNESS. As far as I know, aloneness, or what marx called disenfranchisement, or what I call distance from the pack, is where religion fills the hole in us. that’s level one: eliminating aloneness thru mindfulness. level two is a common mythos (strategy). level three is festival, holiday, ritual. (equality) reinforcing strategy. level four is norm and law. (limits.) We need these things. But of them the one thing that defeats aloneness is what we loosely categorize as religion, but is better described as mindfulness. Mindfulness is necessary because of consciousness.

Paganism Is, Like Natural Law, Simple
PAGANISM There is very little to understand about nature worship. There is very little to understand about ancestor worship. There is very little to understand about hero worship. These are exercises in sacredness: non consumption and ritual demonstration of reciprocity (gifts, observances) Evil religions emerged when we adopted corporatism instead of kinship and nationalism. And we did that in only because of war, conquest, and empire. Yet all our advancements seem to occur in the periods BETWEEN empires. The corporate empire is evil, the kinship nation sacred. Empires violate natural law unless all they impose is natural law: nationhood.

Weapons of Chaos – and Revolution
WEAPONS OF CHAOS The best weapons in an urban skirmish are mace – to buy you opportunity, hardened and weighted knuckles – to give you extra mass and minimize absorption of shock, a lighter and lighter fluid – to create uncertainty, and area of effect damage, molotovs – artillery at a distance, and a motorcycle helmet for defense. You cannot be identified easily, your weapons are impossible to find easily, and and your opponent can be disabled (mace), routed (fire), ranged( molotovs) and killed (fists). Yet you preserve your mobility, and ability to sprint into attacks, maneuver, and to disappear. This supplies weapons at long, medium, close, and short range. Understand that you are not trying to win so much as provoke escalation to the point where there is sufficient confusion and opportunity that you can bring real weapons to bear. It is nearly impossible for a state to defend against mobile infantry that relies upon fire, because fire is far more dangerous than you are, and its effects far longer lasting. Revolution today requires fire, ending power and data transmission, slowing commercial road and rail traffic, and overwhelming first responders. Once first responders are overwhelmed they become the next target of action. At that point the state must admit defeat call in the military, and all one need to is move action from on urban environment to the next.

The Steppe Way of War = Urban Today
The steppe way of war practiced by our earliest ancestors, and practiced by muslims today, is superior to the interregnum method of war, relying upon a concentration of forces. That means: RAIDS. Conduct of many small raids costs little but creates great uncertainty and costs the host thousansd of times as much in defense. In our past, we could retreat via horse, retreat to our forests, and the muslims could retreat to the deserts, or today retreat into slums and favelas. The value of armies is looting. The value of raiders is in imposing costs. One can, as has ISIS, graduate from raiding to looting, to decimating. But this destroys capital, and ensures your eventual defeat if you attempt to hold an economy and profit from it.

( this is not to say rothbard knew what he was doing any more than women know what they are doing – it’s just experience, intuition, culture, and genetics. But it’s still an evil attack on western civilization whether intentional or not.)
