    We had to learn to understand the hate because we could not FEEL the hate. And yet here you are, vainly attempting to make us FEEL bad about it. We understand what you are doing. So we are coming. Fear us. — Eli Harman

    DECONFLATING THE PEJORATIVE: ‘SLAVERY’

    My criticism is of chattel slavery, and this is an other example of the problem of conflation and ideal types instead of spectra.

    – Hard Labor Slavery (‘the mines’ etc – throw them away.)

    – Chattel Slavery (involuntary, labor, parasitism)

    – Punishment Slavery (prisoners)

    – Debt Slavery (Bonded [restitution])

    – Civic Slavery (The Military [non-substitutable payment])

    – Serfdom (involuntary indentured servitude)

    – Indentured Servitude (Contracted room, board, care)

    – Temporary Dependency (children, the ill, room board, care)

    – Permanent Dependency (pets, animals, ai’s)

    – Possessions (objects and non-sentient life)

    I don’t see why we can’t distinguish between each of these, separating the difference between parasitism, punishment, restitution, payment(military service), compensation, and dependency.

    I have no problem with voluntary servitude, and I think we should restore and expand it. It’s work for the military for thousands of years, and it worked for private and small businesses for thousands as well. plenty of people would sign up for guaranteed employment in exchange for room, board, and small spending money. for all intents and purposes, some factories in china operate on this principle.

    The form of servitude I feel we miss the most are the Regiments that need civic emergency and militia equivalents, and the Monasteries/Nunneries, that need secular intellectual, and labor, equivalents.

  • The Orthodox Civil Society

    Nov 18, 2016 12:19pm If you go to a restaurant or club, or a shopping center in ukraine, or even a hotel lobby, their equivalent of ‘elevator music’ is a set of televisions, half of which are tuned to a series of fashion shows and the other half to soccer games. And that’s about all you see. this has a little bit to do with the difference in music: western music is theatrical (you’re sort of in church) and it’s supposed to entertain, whereas in that part of the world, it’s background for you and your friends to talk, drink, and kill an entire evening enjoying each other. Now you can make a youtube channel equivalent by just searching for and playing a stream of fashon shows. I did it by accident today since auto-play just keeps a stream going. But it reminds me of yet another of the vast differences I notice: Russians and Ukrainians live in a civil society. Americans live in school, academy, and consumer-church. We are over-told, over-sold, over-indoctrinated, over-fed, over-worked, over-isolated, and we’re fat, confused, and too many americans are lonely because of it. If I could go back in time and Kill Keynes it would be almost as valuable as going back and killing zoroaster.

  • Intelligence as a Heuristic

    Nov 18, 2016 7:34pm —“We can follow Pinker in the characterization of Intelligence itself as a heuristic of sorts devised by evolutionary processes. The cost of specialization in terms of individuation is simply too costly, so a general set of cognitive dispositions that can adapt is of greater benefit to the species in question.”—Skye Stewart

  • The Destruction of the Craft of Motherhood

    THE DESTRUCTION OF MOTHERHOOD —“Curt you said something a long time ago….”— Yes… that western women are losing the art of motherhood and parenting which was transferred intergenerationally through direct experience, just like the military responsibility of men. Women may no longer have either the knowledge or the confidence to mother children. So not only have we destroyed the family, not only have we infantilized our children for multiple generations, but we have destroyed motherhood, fatherhood, responsibility for the commons and the nation. So are we nothing more than decreasingly civilized, decreasingly domesticated, irrelevant individual animals herded by the government for tax revenue? And for what purpose? So that women could enter the workplace and increase the scope and scale of government? so that we could delay entry into the workplace and lengthen retirement out of it? So that we must immigrate hordes of the undomesticated underclasses and commit genocide against our people? To undo all western civilization for no other purpose than to justify a school system and tax system that serves as little more than socially and developmentally destructive day care? The alternative is simply to restore ourselves to rulership, specialize in rulership, and breed in the luxury of rulership.
