    (FB 1544393014 Timestamp) THE GERMANIZATION OF CHRISTIANITY The Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity: A Sociohistorical Approach to Religious Transformation —“While historians of Christianity have generally acknowledged some degree of Germanic influence in the development of early medieval Christianity, Russell goes further, arguing for a fundamental Germanic reinterpretation of Christianity. This first full-scale treatment of the subject follows a truly interdisciplinary approach, applying to the early medieval period a sociohistorical method similar to that which has already proven fruitful in explicating the history of Early Christianity and Late Antiquity. The encounter of the Germanic peoples with Christianity is studied from within the larger context of the encounter of a predominantly “world-accepting” Indo-European folk-religiosity with predominantly “world-rejecting” religious movements. While the first part of the book develops a general model of religious transformation for such encounters, the second part applies this model to the Germano-Christian scenario. Russell shows how a Christian missionary policy of temporary accommodation inadvertently contributed to a reciprocal Germanization of Christianity.”— https://www.amazon.com/Germanization-Early-Medieval-Christianity-Sociohistorical/dp/0195104668/

In that model separation of church and state survives. When we ended aristocracy we made it possible for people of a church, including the marxist-postmodernist-feminist church, to be raised in the church (the MPF academy) without learning and demonstrating fitness in war.

Although they may have been less culturally sophisticated than the contemporary Japanese, like them, the Germanic peoples did not have immediate social or spiritual needs which Christianity might fulfill. Also, the homogeneity of early medieval Germanic society, like that of contemporary Japan, did not predispose it to the Christian message. Christianity tends to flourish in heterogeneous societies in which there exist high levels of anomie, or social destabilization. Since the relationship of social structure to ideological structure and religious expression will play a significant role in this inquiry,a brief discussion of fundamental concepts is presented here.”— —“”essentially, there is a heightened consciousness of their [japanese] identity as a distinct people, of their membership in a group whose purposes they are willing to serve at the expense of their own.””— Diversity not only generates demand for an authoritarian state, but for a supernatural religion. Why? To find an alternative to KINSHIP RULE, AND ANCESTOR WORSHIP. [] Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity (GEMC)

    (FB 1544709447 Timestamp) INCARCERATION RATES IN CONTEXT OF TIME AND PLACE There is a reason we are {a high trust society, a prosperous society, a ‘diverse’ society, a rule of law society, and a high incarceration society}. While we might question the utility of imprisoning people over some drug use, we do not have levels of petty crime endemic to european countries, as well as the pervasive crime that troubles the rest of the world. And the violent crime we have is {drug related, race-restricted, and race-location-restricted} because proximity creates hostility. So, in other words, the cost of preservation of our relatively superior condition is high rates of incarceration, and the subsequent increased risk those who have been incarcerated face, and the subsequent grouping-together, and monitoring of those what have been incarcerated with those who are at risk, into areas that can be monitored. If we were to secede into racially exclusive and racially heterogeneous polities, then we would, as a consequence, also secede into high trust, high income, high commons, low crime polities, and lower trust, poorer, low commons, lower crime polities. Because groups would produce appropriate signals, behavior, manners, ethics, morals, commons, policies, and laws – and only enforce those laws suitable for their populations. White crime in america is not dissimilar from white europe. Although white under, lower, and working class intermixture with the non-white underclasses is causing defection from the middle class values we have spent 1500 years developing, and degeneration of those whites is accelerating. The data is what it is: we have lower testosterone in white groups, and greater neoteny (we mature more slowly), and higher IQ distributions, and testosterone and rapid maturity and lower IQ distributions create demand for more criminal behavior. East asians have lower demand for stimulation and lower demand for identity expression (greater conformity). This is because we have selected for heroism and identity, and they for harmony and conformity for all of known history. So we see as good or better performance from east asians as we do from our own. Strangely, Latinos have similar levels of testosterone, slightly lower neoteny, but still lower distributions of IQ, so their excessive criminality is due to only one of the biological factors, while africans to three factors of developmental differences. Given sufficient IQ, neoteny and testosterone can somewhat be ameliorated. But that is not possible without positive eugenics in the short term or negative eugenics in the long. Incarceration is visible but the smallest consequence of forced integration. We have lost so much of our civil society, our commons, our manners, ethics and morals, due to attempts at heterogeneous polities. You have to go to norway today to experience the difference. Finns are ‘different’, so they are an unfair comparison. But the germanic peoples all together from italy to norway were a very special people before forced integration. And this century has been a curse for us for reasons some of us fully understand. The freed slaves precisely the damage the protestants warned against. The catholics were precisely the political damage the protestants warned against. The jews were ten times the damage the protestants warned against. The opening of immigration by the left in 65, as ten times the damage the protestants and catholics warned against. The experiment has failed. Democracy failed. Globalism failed. The belief that people were oppressed rather than incrementally domesticated like all other animals failed. We debate whether we domesticated the dog, or it domesticated itself. We do not face the rather obvious genetic evidence, that we domesticated ourselves. And that we did so by some groups being more domesticated and therefore better organized and cooperative than others.
