UKRAINE’S PRESIDENT RESIGNS. USA SHOULD BE NEXT.
This is how it is done America. Not with press. Not with speeches. Not with threats. Not with begging and pleading. But with a dedicated few, willing to die to prove the illegitimacy of the government.
Why does the right care? BECAUSE THEY DO THE FIGHTING.

WESTERN (ANGLO) POLICY IN FOUR RULES
1) Secular Christianity (“Human Rights Worship”)
Individuals have property rights including to the self, that states may not violate. (This is ‘rule of law’ or ‘natural law’ that constrains the state – any state and all states.) Property rights, (human rights), science and Reason therefore determine the validity of any discourse, and no other values ever, take precedence over them.
2) Commercial Prosperity (“mutually beneficial voluntary exchange”)
Principle: Adam Smith. The wealthier we are the more choices we have, the better lives that we have. (This actually appears to have limits.)
3) Good Commercial World Citizenship (“”)
You have the obligation to conduct your competition through trade, and that is the only competition that you may conduct – because it is mutually beneficial. If you conduct any other kind of competition then we will also engage in that competition to protect the pattern of trade.
4) Self Determination – You may choose your own government. However, you and your government will be held responsible for 1,2 and 3 above. You will be allowed to select any self determination that does not violate 1,2 and 3.
UNFORTUNATELY THE WEST ONLY TALKS ABOUT SELF DETERMINATION. WHICH CONFUSES THE “DEVELOPING” WORLD.

UNDERSTANDING WESTERN POLICY AS RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE
(reposted)(expanded)
You gotta understand this. And this is hard for some people to grasp:
The entire IDENTITY of the west is predicated on their superiority in human rights. Their claim of legitimacy is predicated upon it. Their identity, self worth, system of status signals, political mythology, and moral authority is based upon it. The US’s argument in favor of its use of POWER is predicated upon it.
So, when you take a bunch of peaceful white folk, and shoot them, this is not so much a question of Ukraine. It’s a question of ‘religious devotion’ on the part of westerners.
I have spent a long time trying to demonstrate the connection between economics and morality – that they’re the same. But that while humans are universally acquisitive, they are MORE universally MORAL than acquisitive. And that is an evolutionary necessity.
Just as Coase worked to add the theory of the firm to macro Economics. I want to add morality into macro economics. And the logic of cooperation into Philosophy. (I don’t know if I can at this point, because i’m in my 50’s already. But i’m going to keep at it.) But if I succeed, then at that point, economics will be, THE social science. Both internally consistent (logic of cooperation) and eternally correspondent (macro economics).
So, for the RELIGION of the secular christian west, shooting protesters is the far more serious an offense to the secular christianity that we call democratic socialism, than drawing comics of Muhammed as a goat-f_cker.
I am not a ‘christian’ in this sense. I am an aristocratic egalitarian. Christianity as we practice it incorporates some aristocratic egalitarian values and virtues. That we worship one particular philosopher (Jesus/Peter/Paul) rather than all philosophers, generals, and statesmen and is a catastrophe of the christianization of Europe.
My religion, if I have one, is “sovereignty”. Which translates to property rights in libertarian language. However, the difference in aristocratic egalitarianism, is that you EARN those property rights by paying for them with your constant diligence. You are’t born with them. And logically – you just can’t be anyway.

Coffee shop. In a corner. Three young men. Handsome. Bright eyes. Educated. Expensive laptops. A bit disheveled. Busy with phones and planning.
And body armor hung over their chairs.
Beautiful.

They are letting the public tour his home in Kiev today.
I spent most of the night tracking the presidential plane flight from Kiev through Georgia, Armenia and Iran. Just didn’t make sense to me that he’d taken a different plane. I’d thought that he had possibly sent the money in the presidential plane and gone to the meeting of the Region today.
But nope. Instincts were good. They can’t find him. And the plane never went to Karhiv as he’s stated.
LIBERTY IS THE PRODUCT OF ORGANIZED VIOLENCE BY A MINORITY DETERMINED TO OBTAIN AND HOLD IT.
