GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE
(cultural observations)
Jaw-dropping. Beautiful. Feminine. Everywhere. Every day. My brain stem forces the production of happiness inducing chemistry telling me my brothers and I have captured lots of good women from competing males. Maybe that is why Slavs are so much less aggressive: lots of environmentally induced dopamine. 😉
I took a walk in the park here today. It rivals western parks in the 19th century tradition. Long wide walks, stone walls, ponds and birds. Sweeping lawns. A physical commons without beggars and bums.
This is who we were – when we were still a civic society. When people participated in, took responsibility for, and managed the commons themselves, rather than politicians – administrative whores.
This beauty. These buildings. This land. This character. These parks. These norms. This religion. This is who we were.
THIS IS WHO WE WERE.
For the crime of statism alone, we should slaughter every one of them forward and backward for three generations. For the crime of socialism we should do it for all living generations.
LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO US.
Statism and imperialism are crimes against humanity that must be so feared that no living soul in our society ever dares breath the idea again.
Kill them all and give the devil his due.
Mercy is for those who deserve it.

I am not into racism or antisemitism. I am critical of every one of the enlightenment grroups for their stuipidity.
(worth repeating)
—“I am not interested in anti-semitism. I argue only against the accidental application of jewish in-group ethics and argument structure as pseudoscience in an era where our western extant means of logic and argument at human scale required our retention of european testimonial truth and operationalism because at that time our intellectual problems in all fields exceeded human scale.
I am not anti semitic. Just the opposite. I’m a compatibilist. I do think the Jewish century is over with, and that it was tragically harmful. If you want to get involved in racism or whatever, that is not what I do. I think it’s always the wrong question. The answer is why you subject yourself to internal political competition, not why other pursue a better life for themselves.
I do not think Jews understood what they were doing any more than we anglo europeans understood what we were doing, or the germans or the french understood what they were doing. We all just justified what we had done before in the new context in order to maintain group cohesion.
My effort is to make us understand what happened, and why jewish pseudoscientific thought in all disciplines was so easy to attack western civilization with.”—

It’s Less than 9 hours from Dresden to where we are in Lviv, about 7-9 hours from Lviv to Kiev, and about 11+ hours from Kiev to Lugansk where the fighting is. That means the distance from us here in Lviv to Lugansk is about 18-20 hours drive, and the distance to Germany is about 9 hours drive. I hope that puts it in perspective.

THE GREAT CRIMES OF HISTORY
TEMPLARS: Bankers. Warriors. With Swords. Without Land. Is there any better strategy on earth than that one? The end of the Templars was on par with the christianization of rome, and the enfranchisement of the lower classes into the houses of commons instead of their own house, and the french revolution. Had we kept the Templars but prohibited them by charter from owning land, we never would have had the Rothschilds. We never would have had many of our problems today.
If I could get the holy see to enact one thing only, it would be to restate the charter of the Templars as warrior banker economists, obedient to the church, and requiring that we kill those who abridge that charter.
This act would alone, within four generations, restore the Church.

SUSCEPTIBILITY DUE TO TRUST NOT STUPIDITY
I don’t mean to call Rothbardians stupid and immoral per-se. It’s easy to be misled by pseudo-rationalism and pseudo-science. It’s easy to be misled by half-truths. It’s easy to be misled by words that sound moral but which produce immoral actions.
I don’t mean to call Misesians stupid per se. It is easy for average and above average minds, to be misled by pseudo-rationalism and pseudo-science when it is articulated with that great a level of detail. That’s the purpose of loading (emotions), framing (selective inclusion and exclusion of properties), and overloading (great detail, and repetition).
But the susceptibility of those minds capable of managing economic thought, which requires consideration of more dimensions that other forms of thought, demonstrates why so many are susceptible to the other forms of cosmopolitan deception via loading, framing and overloading: leftism in general, and neo-conservatism.
They manipulate our moral intuitions. We are the most moral people. We are most subject to pseudoscientific excitement of our moral intuitions. Whatever moral bias you adhere to, the cosmopolitans have a pseudoscientific and immoral argument to excite you: leftism, libertarianism, or neo-conservatism. And high trust europeans are readily susceptible to these false moral arguments.
Just as our scientists and philosophers have been subject to such pseudoscience in the form of abstract truth (Popperian truth as well), psychology, sociology cantorian sets, platonic truth, mathematical platonism, and modeling.
