  • What’s The Biggest Culture Shock The Us Has Ever Faced?

    There have been culture shocks fairly regularly.
    Just since the Constitution:
    1 – The almost-revolutionary war where the North wanted to secede.
    2 – The North-South conflict from the very beginning.
    3 – The Louisiana Purchase and the Civil War that resulted from the South wanting to secede (which would have meant that the new territories joined the South not the North).
    4 – The immigrant shocks in the late 1800’s and then the underclass immigration shocks prior to 1929.
    5 – The shocks of converting from an agrarian to industrial society – just as farming became enjoyable.
    6 – The shocks of the Depression and the Second World War.
    7 – The shocks of the ‘little pink houses’ where soldiers were reintegrated.
    8 – The shocks of (temporary) postwar wealth (That everyone thought would last)
    9 – The shocks of the underclass revolution (Civil Rights Movement)
    10 – The shocks of Johnson’s attempt to imitate the soviets with the Great Society movement – and its catastrophic (like the Soviets) failure.
    11 …. I mean… there is at least one shock every decade.

    —“Sloterdijk replied impatiently. “The Americans gave us this idea of multiculturalism that suited their society fine, but which, as software, is not compatible with our German hardware of the welfare state,” he said. “There’s this family metaphor spreading everywhere: the idea that all of humanity is our family. That idea helped destroy the Roman Empire. Now we’re in danger of letting that metaphor get out of control all over again. People are not ready to feel the full pressure of coexistence with billions of their contemporaries.” He went on, “In the past, geography created discretionary boundaries between nations and cultures. Distances that were difficult to overcome allowed for mental and political space.” Space and distance, he argued, had allowed for a kind of liberality and generosity that was now under siege—by refugees, by social media, by everything.”—

    Gods as we know them were invented in reaction to (competition with) the new technology of aristocracy. The priests have always been liars. But the metalsmiths, and warriors cannot afford the luxury of faith – faith demands no skin in the game (no warranty), but truth, metalsmithing, and war, force a man to warranty his displays, his words, and his deeds. There is no room for humility. The purpose of humility is control, and by control we mean the deprivation of AGENCY.. The purpose of truth is to produce AGENCY. The purpose of warranty is to prohibit obstacles to agency. Western civilization, beginning with the Yamna (Aryans) and particularly the indo-iranian vs european divide, industrialized the domestication of man an the production of agency – with, horse, bronze, wheel, truth, warranty, and paternalism. Hence why ancient western man lifted mankind out of ignorance, and ancient semitic man sought to restore the world of ignorance. Because they could not compete. So like women they undermine with gossip. Because that is the purpose and origin of gossip and priesthood: to undermine the strong, the smart, and the successful. Women and priests do nothing but undermine so that they are not left behind. That is what the bottom fears. To be left behind.

    Don’t be ridiculous. (((Dr. Seuss))) wrote communist-socialist fairy tales because western fairy tales teach honor, skepticism, and to be on the lookout for treachery. They do not celebrate infantilism. They warn us against it. Go to a children’s bookstore in Russia and Ukraine and you’ll find the books children used to read in germanic speaking countries. Kings, Princes, Princesses, Heroes, and Maids.
