September 22nd, 2018 3:07 PM PATTON’S SWORD [G]en Patton did extensive study and competition with swords, and as far as I know his mixture of saber and rapier is the final word on the matter if for no other reason than we don’t chop while riding on horses any longer. I have used foil, rapier, and saber and while one can exert more force with a saber, the rapier, it’s length, and it’s double edge simply mean that opponents are kept at a distance, and you are much, much faster than they are. The basic utility of the Machete, Saxon, Bowie are fantastic, but they are closer ranged weapons than the fast sword. While we all love our longswords they are primarily for use against armor, and gave way to harder metal with faster swords upon the arrival of gunpowder. And the saber was eventually replaced by a second pistol when soldiers could afford it. Why? Well, I see a lot of knife and machete fights in the world thanks to the ubiquity of smart phones. Apparently no one in the third world has learned to fight with swords.

[A]h. That is the question. Whether tis human to err, or to err because one is not yet human.
😉 (I had presumed the former, but come to understand it is the latter.)

—“What is not mentioned is why WHITE women have been targeted by pulling on their heart strings, while it hasn’t happened to women of other races. To me it makes more sense to say: White people have higher empathy, and women have higher empathy than men, and lower awareness of the threats posed by incoming populations. Therefore, this current situation is a reflection of white societies empowering women in the sphere of politics to a much larger degree than other societies.”—

September 22nd, 2018 1:44 PM [N]ote that all groups are split into classifications other than homo sapiens. There are at least three and arguably four species of homo sapiens. There was a movement to group humans and chimpanzees but chimps and bonobos can interbreed, and Europeans, East asians, and africans can interbreed.

September 22nd, 2018 8:48 AM by Igor Rogov
—-“When two political parties are not concerned with governance, but only with defeating one another, Left has all the advantages, with habitual lies and propaganda from the rich arsenal of Soviet Union, China and utopian fantasies of academics and Fabian club members. Right still clings to old notions of righteousness and integrity, moreover, it still tries to deal with political reality, rather than fantastic imagery. Which is both limiting and boring for the masses. There is no grand vision of Right world, attractive and wonderous.”— (brilliant, correct, but also dependent upon democracy and the absence of ethnocentrism. Restore ethnocentrism and eliminate democracy, and it’s no longer necessary to face these problems.)
