REVOLUTION: NEVER HAS AN EMPIRE BEEN MORE FRAGILE
(repost from september ’17)
There is no natural gas, electrical, or electronic infrastructure that can survive a magazine of steel core 7.62 ammunition. There are no transformers that can survive a collision with a pickup truck. There are no poles that can survive a man with a chainsaw. There is no physical infrastructure than can sustain loss of water pressure and five gallons of gasoline, and a match. There are no railways that cannot be stopped by simple removal of rails. There are no drivers willing to transport goods under threat of snipers, road spikes, and hijacking. America is vast and dependent upon energy and that is its weakness.
THE RULE OF THREES
Three seconds without blood, three minutes without air, three days without water, three weeks without food, three months without commerce, three quarters without government.
It takes about three weeks to a month to collapse a country. Because just as people fall of their own weight, economies fall of their own weight, countries fall of their own weight. Empires fall of their own weight. Civilizations fall of their own weight.
SMALL ACTIONS IN ENOUGH NUMBERS PRODUCE VAST CONSEQUENCES
It takes a few hundred if not a few thousand men to conduct a revolution. and all retaliation against those few hundred, or thousand men, by opposition or the state, will accomplish is acceleration.

Ben,
Well done. I work on this problem and have for many years, and you’ve touched on the major points except for three:
1 – that each civilization is formed by it’s customary law, and its religions evolve to justify that law. And despite her attempts the church was never strong enough to other than influence customary law in europe. European customary law is thousands of years old, and originated the primacy of sovereignty, and the responsibility of speaking the truth regardless of it’s impact on the dominance (competence) hierarchy.
2 – That what we call ‘ethical advancement’ is merely ‘affordability due to the agrarian, industrial, and monetary revolutions. Civilizations have the ‘tolerances’ that they can afford. We can afford tolerances because they are no longer harmful, not because we are virtuous.
3 – That our dear friend Dr Pinker’s observation that violence has declined does not account for the shift from violence to theft to fraud to proceduralization and financialization. In other words, we are subject to equally great harm as in the past, it is just conducted indirectly. The reason this is invisible is that economics has replaced morality in law, and economics cherry picks consumption rather than the suite of changes in all forms of human capital. In other words, economists run on an income statement, while societies used to run on balance sheets. They were right and we are wrong.Updated Aug 23, 2018, 9:54 PM

—“We are about to hit Weimar levels of social dysfunction. Right on time for the centennial anniversary of the actual Weimar republic. This is a level of bizarre that might be considered mystic. As flashpoints accelerate, I cant imagine this go-around lasting more than 8-10 years since Weimar lasted 14. If you aren’t building yet, you should start. The good thing is, those of us against it have actually studied history and can intercept things.”—Austyn Pember

Yes, ethnic europeans are empirically less violent, but we issue and obey more rules of constraint that exceed the frustration budgets of less advanced peoples, and we actively police and suppress violations of those more numerous rules of constraint. In other words we pay a high price for low corruption and petty theft. America and germany pay the highest price.
