—“”The black flag, sir. If the North triumphs, it is not alone the destruction of our property, it is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity and the ultimate loss of free and responsible government on this continent. It is the triumph of commerce, banks and the factory. We should meet the Federal invaders on the outer verge of just and right defence, and raise at once the black flag. No quarter to the violaters of our homes and firesides.” – Stonewall Jackson (“Gods and Generals”)”

( The irony of the hard right using oven metaphors with utter confidence that they didn’t exist, and gas metaphors with utter confidence the only gas was used for delousing linens. And yes, I understand that the right wing mind loves irony and hyperbole. It’s still strange somehow. )
9) It’s not that I don’t understand religion. It’s that I understand it completely; how to replace its falsehoods completely; and that abrahamic religions were responsible for the dark ages, and the destruction of all the great civilizations in the ancient world – and modern.
8) meanwhile the west produced hero-worship, civic ritual, the cult of the empirical law of tort, reason, rationalism, empiricism, science as an evolution of their criteria of decidability: individual sovereignty, with disputes resolved by law of tort, and a MARKET for ideas.
7) So just as the Romans invented empirical law with the help of aristotle and zeno, the Greeks invented idealism and ideal argument, the semites invented the sophistries of pilpul and critique and threats of ostracization thus weaponizing the female group strategy in argument.

This is my current understanding of the races since ‘caucasian’ doesn’t appear to match the data.
The mixture of early indo europeans and europeans happens in the caucuses, but the indo-european expansion is cultural and technological, while preserving markers of the original peoples of both european and west asian origins. (I am still getting my arms around this. but we had a too simplistic view of evolution of the races. yes, there are africans (old), coastal peoples (middle), and eurasian peoples(new), but old, middle, and new peoples all continued to evolve in place, and to shift quite a bit in response to the ice age.)William L.
