    That’s an interesting discussion to have. Christianity uniquely appears to provide a vehicle for majority middle class ethics. Which in turn produces greater wealth than the alternatives. And while I have no need for it, we cannot forget that western civ places the greatest psychological and emotional burden on the individual. and that christianity sedates that burden better than anything else we know nof.

    @Afterrthought@AndrewAnglin@a@ramzpaul@occdissent@kingofallnads

    Hmm… Would you mind if I clarify your argument a little bit?

    1) Western civ has always been trifunctional, in that we preserve competeion between religion(feminine, familial), law (political, commercial) and aristocracy (war). THis forms a market competition between social, economic, and military elites, that promotes competitive innovation, and prevents corruption and stagnation by a balance of powers.
    2) Western civ whose origins are best understood by study of the spartans, then maturing thru trade into the athenians, as an upper class of horse-riding warriors (aristocracy) financed by their extended families (oligarchy), over some number of footsoldiers (citizens) and a conquered set of farm workers and laborers (slaves).
    3) Christian religion was an innovation because it provided the underclasses (women, serfs, slaves) a means of obtainin status by simply doing no wrong, rather than possessing wealth and power – and it was made possible by the weath increase generated by the roman empire, roman roads, roman administration, and roman trade. Thus reducing alienation between the classes, and lowering the cost of admninistering increasingly larger polities. While the church was successful undermining roman institutinos of cultural production – just as woke is doing today, the mlitary and the law and trifunctionalism remained.
    4) The germanic aristocracy captured the Church as a holding company for land under primogeniture, and so the aristocracy (military and land), traders and transporters (law), and nobility(church and peasantry), maintained the trifunctional equilibrium. (There is no means of concentrating capital as in the flood river valley civs, so it means federations of aristocracy were necessary – especially in germany.)
    5) As such the church failed to fully reform into the acquinian and scholastic model of natural law, uniting christianity and science, in response to darwin. The french left in response to the french revolution, and the jewish left in response to the world wars, were successful in disintermediating the aristocracy and the military ending trifunctionalism, and driving to jewish and french authoritarianism (positive law) – replacing the church by merging it weith the secular state.
    6) The jewish left then captured the institutions, and converted them from vehicles for training the aristocracy, nobiliy, and upper middle class into responsibility for administration of the state, economy,and polity, into CREDENTIALISM which allowed jewish intellectuals to pseudo-intellectuals whose purpose was to destroy the institutions of cultural production in europe,m replacing trifunctionalism with authoritrian clerecy.

    SO the correct answer is that christianity ALONE is too weak to resist the authoritarian religion of the left, and requires military aristocracy, and rule of law, and demonstrated competency in real life instead of certification by credentialism (academies).

    My work attempts to fix this problem and reverse the process of destruction of our civilization. Because we must both repair our law, restore meritocracy over credentialism, restore our military aristocracy, complete the unification of christianity and science started by Aquinas, nearly completed by blackstone, Smith, Hobbes-Locke, and Hume: the natural law (as I define it): “the law of man, of nature, and nature’s god.”

    There is no other solution.

    @kingofallnads@Afterrthought@AndrewAnglin@PutinOnTheRitz@occdissent@ramzpaul I know you’re just venting adolescent right wing desperation, but no, the west is a voluntary federation with rule of law, democratic governments. Russia and china are involuntary empires with kleptocratic governments, authoritarianism, and no rule of law. Ukrainians made a choice to join ascending federation and grow as has poland, instesad of being conquered and culturally and ethnically eradicated by the russian empire. The west’s problem of neo-marxism, pomo, woke is solvable if you pussies show up in large numbers. It is not solvable by making corruption and propaganda and poverty even worse.

  • @Afterrthought @ramzpaul @AndrewAnglin @occdissent @PutinOnTheRitz Um… love yo

    @Afterrthought@ramzpaul@AndrewAnglin@occdissent@PutinOnTheRitz Um… love you man, but, not a chance.

    WHY DID PUTIN ANNEX: Russian law prohibits Putin from conscription for use outside or RU territory. By annexation he has internal justification for continuing his war by expanding conscription. RU cannot train, arm, or supply it’s soldiers. Putin is betting on general winter to break the coalition and get him to the bargaining table. That’s not going to work. So AFAIK, he will try to claim he will escalate with nukes. US DOD+State have told RU directly what they would do if that happened – that info leaked yesterday. It was more aggressive than I’d expected. and would instantly defeat the russian military at unrecoverable costs. The purpose of this strategy is to use the RU military to prevent the use of nuclear weapons, because those military generals have local command independent of putin for exactly this reason.

  • MAGICAL THINKING IS A NECESSITY FOR NEARLY HALF OF MANKIND. The only consequence

    MAGICAL THINKING IS A NECESSITY FOR NEARLY HALF OF MANKIND.
    The only consequence is participatory government. In the past the church governed moral matters. the manor disciplinary matters. the court property matters. And the high courts murder. I’m not convinced that we don’t need the equivalent of church courts. And I’m increasinly convinced the majority are unfit for participatory government, in matters of economics politics and straetgy. And the state, and state courts, in absence of church court, has proven a vehicle for immorality.

    (small town life)
    I use my card for the meter. Leave it in too long so it doesn’t work. Little old lady nearby offers me quarters. I get my card to work. I thank her. We talk. After, she askes me to say a prayer for her. I agree, smile. She asks if I believe in god, jesus and the virgin mary. I answer yes of course. We smile. 😉 (I believe belief is necessary for her, and I refuse to deprive her of any comfort she derives from it. ) I walk away, and say god bless you dear. A black man mid forties is just finishing crossing the street. He asks if I”ll say one for him too, and smiles. I walk over and shake his hand. We smile. Laugh. And go about our business. I believe in acting as did jesus – because the evidence of the consequence of all of us doing so is overwhelming. I don’t need faith, or church, I just need evidence. But other people need more. And we can’t deprive them of it.

    @OrgCybernism
    A thought: Devotion to religious fiction in the commons is tolerable if its commands seek to enable cooperation in accordance with the laws of the universe.

    @curtdoolittle
    Correct. Well done.

    💯👌If Santa Claus’ list keeps you nice then it’s doing it’s job.

    @curtdoolittle
    The problem remains whether any form of magical thinking that benefits one psychologically interpersonally and socially – even those that have aggregate social benefits – conflicts with, impedes or prohibits rational and empirical thinking at economic, political, strategic scale.
    mario hostios

    @mariohostios
    That sounds more like a reality than a problem- I’ve no clue how to solve it.

    @curtdoolittle
    It’s more likely that the problem of human need for magical thinking and their vulnerability to it (Woke) is unsolvable. And that means majoritarian democracy, even under it’s constraint by our constitution of Concurrent, Common, Natural Law is impossible

    @mariohostios
    That’s prescious insight. In a world of influencers you are a thought trailblazer.

    Stop reading propaganda. I know people in Azov. No such evidence.
    RU couldn’t carpet bomb anything. RU is reserving planes (a) too many are non-functional (b) too few pilots have too little air time b/c RU can’t afford training costs, (c) jets are 100m each instead of 5M each for tanks etc. (b) they need them to defend Moscow and st Petersburg if nato response to RU aggression.
    All they can do is resort to nukes. RU army is a paper tiger. US fear since March has been that US alone would destroy entire RU military in under five days, but this would cause RU nuke retaliation. Use of nukes means the end of RU civilization. So US/UA Strategy has been to exhaust them instead. It’s been working. UA has just executed one of the best strategic maneuvers since the second world war. They have Nato training, nato weapons, Nato signal intelligence, and their own morale and incentives.

    No one is stupid enough to use nukes – though I can see a future with Taiwan-China and Israel-Iran exchanging nukes.

    And unless Poland unites the intermarium faster than germany collapses and france tries again to conquer europe, I’m not sure what happens to western civ.
