NOBILITY: A NOBLE PHILOSOPHICAL ENDEAVOR
Extricate the philosophy of liberty from the mythology of the ghetto, and return it to the aristocracy where it was created – and restore the aristocracy and our liberty by doing so.
The arguments are simple. Learn them.
Aristocratic Egalitarianism.
Propertariansim.
Moral Realism.
Scientific Realism.

THE CORPOREAL DEMOCRATIC STATE IS THE INSURER OF THE IMMORAL MAN

ARISTOCRACY AS THE INSURER OF LIBERTY
All aristocracy must by definition treat each other as equals, regardless of our race, religion, culture, language. But that is because the contract of aristocratic egalitarianism requires we reciprocally grant one another all property rights, and agree to defend each other against abrogations of those rights, without question, regardless of sacrifice. We INSURE each other. Aristocracy is the insurer of liberty. Aristocracy crates liberty. Aristocracy Insures liberty. And the currency of aristocracy is violence.

WHAT ARE THE TERMS UNDER WHICH ONE CHOOSES TO COOPERATE?
–“Free men should never regulate their conduct by the suggestions or dicta of others, for when they do so, they are no longer free. No man ought to obey any contract, written or implied, except he himself has given his personal and formal adherence thereto, when in a state of mental maturity and unrestrained liberty. It is only slaves that are born into contracts, signed and sealed by their progenitors. The free man is born free, lives free, and dies free. He is (even though living in an artificial civilization) above all laws, all constitutions, all theories of right and wrong. He supports and defends them of course, as long as they suit his own end, but if they don’t, then he annihilates them by the easiest and most direct method.”–

SOVEREIGNTY BEGINS WITH VIOLENCE, MORALITY IS MADE BY VIOLENCE
—“Right is not the offspring of doctrine, but of power. All laws, commandments, or doctrines as to not doing to another what you do not wish done to you, have no inherent authority whatever, but receive it only from the club, the gallows, and the sword. A man truly free is under no obligation to obey any injunction, human or divine. Obedience is the sign of the degenerate. Disobedience is the stamp of the hero.”—
If we apply our wealth of violence to the suppression of free riding in all its forms, then we create the most productive and meritocratic moral code for any body of people that is possible.
But that result is an aristocratic moral code – a meritocratic moral code. Merit is to the disadvantage of the incompetent and degenerate. Christianity is merely a rebellion against aristocracy.
But unable to suppress aristocracy, and aristocracy uninterested in suppressing christianity, the west was a product of the dialectic between the christians and the actions, habits and traditions of the aristocracy.
Might makes whatever right it’s wielder chooses to. But there is only one optimum moral principle available to man, to which we all adhere to different degrees: upon choosing not to use violence, and instead to cooperate, we create the problem of free riding. To suppress free riding we create moral rules. To enforce moral rules we create authority. By creating moral rules we create free riding by corruption. To enforce moral rules against free riding by corruption we must suppress the state. To suppress the state requires that we use violence to suppress free riding in all its forms: criminal, unethical, immoral, conspiratorial, and statist.
Might makes whatever right we choose. One can choose an objectively moral right: the suppression or free riding. Or one can choose one of the many others – all of which institute some form of free riding.

(note to self)
Realism, Instrumentalism, and Operationalism, solve a lot of philosophical problems since so many of those problems are the product of language. It’s pretty funny or maybe ironic to me, that after more than a century of verbal gymnastics it turns out that language is the cause of the problems of politics not the cure for it. I don’t know why that’s so funny. So HUMAN, to conduct a century of distraction with little to show for it, but it’s definitely identifiable as an instance of the pattern of human foibles.

THE CURRENT CANON
(in suggested reading order)
Note that I do not list the usual works of ‘lament’ about the fall of the west. I assume that we all understand that. But understanding it isn’t a means of countering it. Countering it requires we understand the origins of liberty, the constitution of liberty, and act to restore our liberty. As such I focus on how to construct and reconstruct informal and formal institutions that will do a better job of protecting our liberty than did classical liberalism. However, doing so requires that I dismantle the fallacy of rothbardian ghetto ethics, and german rationalism, and instead, rebuild the case for liberty on science and history.

1 non-military asymmetric warfare (info, psycho, ideological, diplo, economic)
2 special operations to mislead pol & mil leadership via diplomatic, media, channels, leaks, false data & orders
3 intimidation, deceiving, and bribing govt and military officers, to make them abandon duties etc
4 destabilizing propaganda to increase public discontent, boosted by the arrival of Russian bands of militants, escalating subversion.
5 establishment of no-fly zones & blockades, extensive use of private military in close cooperation with armed opposition units.
6 military action, preceded by special ops, cyber, sabotage, espionage, subversion
7 info ops, electronic warfare, air harrassment, high precision weapons, EMP,
8 mopping up, with artillery, airdrops etc
10 PRINCIPLES
1 direct influence matters more than direct destruction
2 instead of direct annihilation of opponent, promote his inner decay
3 war using culture matters more than weapons & technology
4 special forces & commercial irregular forces instead of conventional military
5 from the traditional (3D) battleground to information/psychological warfare and war of perceptions;
6 from direct clash to contactless war;
7 from a superficial and compartmentalised war to a total war, including the enemy’s internal side and base;
8 from war in the physical environment to war in human consciousness and cyberspace
9 from symmetric to assymetric warfare, combining political, economic, info, techno & ecological campaigns
10 From war in a defined period of time to a state of permanent war as the natural condition in national life.
