    OK. So the military says they can’t send overstretched troops to the mexican border and the left seems to think that in the coming revolution will be settled by the state, and the right thinks the state will intervene. Like I said, this is the most fragile empire in history. There are only two cities with police forces capable of maintaining any semblance of order. The military will eitner not act, or act insufficiently. This is why the Federal Government armed everyone that they could in the bureaucracy. Because they knew it was coming. If revolutionaries publish their demands and they are reasonable, it very hard to see the police and the national guard or the military disagreeing with them.

    Again. remember when Y’all said you couldn’t believe it would happen? That’s cause Y’all didn’t know your data and your history.

    Revolution Comes.

  • GEOGRAPHY FORESTLANDS: Aristocratic Ethics: What will someone not retaliate agai

    GEOGRAPHY

    FORESTLANDS: Aristocratic Ethics: What will someone not retaliate against even if we agree to it?(rulers/teleological ethics:outcomes) The ethics of warriors who must hold territory. This is a very high cost strategy because while professional warrior aristocracy is militarily superior, smaller numbers mean threats must be constantly suppressed when small, as soon as identified. (Profiting from the domestication of man)

    – BORDERLANDS: Cosmopolitan(Jewish) Ethics: What will someone consent to Regardless of future resentment and retaliation? (borderland/subculture/deontological ethics:rules) The ethics of diasporic, migrating traders, or herding peoples who can prey upon the locals who hold territory. This is a very low cost (parasitic) ethics that avoids all contribution to the host commons, but requires preserving the ability to exit (migrate). It is the raider strategy by systemic and verbal rather than physical means.

    – STEPPELANDS: Russian(Orthodox) Ethics: What can I get away with now by negotiation and subterfuge, and hold by force later? (steppe raiders) The ethics of steppe people surrounded by competitors, always hostile and unpredictable. This is a difficult and expensive but only possible strategy, when one is surrounded by hostile opportunity seekers. While seemingly expansive, it’s actually a fearful one – aggression as the only possible means of controlling defensive positions across open territory.

    — FERTILE CRESCENT LAND: (Profit from the subjugation of man) (cyrus was lost).

    – RIVERLANDS: Chinese Ethics: What can I get away with now, but over time make impossible to change later? The ethics of long term ruling bureaucratic class. Sun Tzu strategy, and Confucian hyper familism. This is an exceptionally cost-effective strategy if one possesses a territorial resource (heartland), and can fortify that heartland. Riverlands strategy defends against Steppland and Desertland strategies. (Profiting from the domestication of man)

    – DESERTLANDS: Muslim Ethics: (I am still working on this one because I don’t get that it’s causal, but opportunistic.) What can I justify now in order to make this minor advance now? And thereby accumulate wins by wearing down opponents over long periods. The ethics of opportunism. As far as I can tell islam is just an excuse for justifying opportunism. We can consider this the combination of religion and justifying opportunism – a long term very successful strategy becuase it’s very low cost.

    – HOSTILELANDS: African Ethics (pre-christian). Africa is akin to the Desertlands because of the sheer number of competitors, the hostility of the disease gradient, the plethora of wildlife, combined with the primitiveness of the available technologies. This is the only possible strategy until one or more core states can evolve, and create sufficient stability in some regions. (this is occurring now).

    CIVILIZATIONS NOT STATES

    It is a mistake (always), to consider conflicts within states over local power (capital allocation), as of the same consequence as conflicts between civilizations over borders. Because the former is a kinship conflict over priorities, while the latter is a genetic conflict over group evolutionary strategies.

  • Elections – Well, Time to End Them.

    1) A rotating system of individual elections is far easier to manipulate since forces (coercion) can be concentrated on one election at a time, where under simultaneous voting, it is extremely difficult to coerce every race without nearly infinite funds. 2) With the advent of communication there is no reason for representatives any longer, whatsoever, nor for the houses of congress. There is every reason for either devolution of all power to the states, or direct democracy (equidistribution) or direct proportional democracy (by contribution). [There isn’t any reason for one single currency for all purposes any longer either. Nor is there any reason for distribution of liquidity through the financial sector and the credit system. In fact, that’s the source of the economic problem we face today.] 3) Because it it is far too easy to influence politicians whether they are elected incrementally, through rotation en mass (as now), or all at once (in the athenian method). 4) The purpose of scale whether at the jury, state representative, or federal representative level, is to increase the cost of bribery. Ergo it is time, given our wealth, to increase scale from representatives to the entire populace, since that bribery is impossible for OTHER than the state. (As for ‘comparison of legislatures to juries, the evolution of the legislature being Thang 12, 20, 100, or more, depending on the severity of the matter) > The Jury > Senate > Multiple Houses > Direct Democracy, is … well you’d have to be relatively ignorant of the origin of the western tradition and its roots in the sovereignty of individual men, leaving the Thang (Jury) as the ONLY POSSIBLE means of choice, and the Headman, Chieftain, King, Monarch, as a Judge of Last Resort.) Cheers

  • Golden Rule: The Limit of Christian Charity

    by John Mark [T]he Golden Rule works for individuals choosing to spend their own $/time/energy/investment to actively help others. As soon as you scale beyond the individual, it turns into communism – whoever is in political power forcing (by legislation) me to make investments in actively helping others that I myself have not chosen to make. That’s theft. It’s communism. The Golden Rule becomes communism as soon as it scales beyond individual choices.

  • The Church as A Means of Defense Against the Totalitarian State.

    —“For those on the Right defending the church, it seems to boil down to defending family, and the necessary semblance of tradition, against the barren NPC cultural landscape.”—Aidan Waring

    —“They are not defending THE church. They are defending THEIR church. Not the abstract theology, but the specific function of the church within their community that organizes them to resist against the encroaching NPC culture.”—Luke Weinhagen

    That is the purpose of the church (intertemporal) – to limit the state (temporal), which in turn limits commerce (present).
