    AUTHORITY VS RESPONSIBILITY
    (more)

    Authority to apply discretion vs Responsibility for Deciding according to rules and laws.

    So we have two dimensions:
    1 – Discretion (choice) vs Rules (laws)
    2 – Authority (power) vs Responsibility (duty)

    PROPORTIONALITY AND DEFECTION
    However, should you defect by disassociation or emigration that’s just fine. However, if you try to engage in crime, resistance, rebellion, or revolution whether by free riding, fraud, rent seeking, privatization of commons/socialization of losses into commons, corruption, sedition, treason, or war, then of course, you’re engaging in irreciprocity and can be … well, let’s say ‘corrected or removed’.

    PROPORTIONALITY: If in any given reciprocal exchange the benefit I obtain in proportion to your benefit is insufficient to continue cooperation – ie: disproportionate – then my incentive is to defect to a different individual group or polity with which to cooperate.
    Proportionality is a limit beyond which one’s interests to defect increase, until defection by disassociation, emigration, crime, resistance(sedition), rebellion(treason), or revolution(war).

    –“It’s Unamerican”–

    I don’t know what that means. (Though I’m sure I would agree with your sentiments). A normative description only applies under shared norms. And the postwar attempt to destroy the west by the march through our “institutions of cultural production” of individual responsibility, has sought to destroy those norms and impose norms that are anti-american and anti-western. And so we have people who lack sufficient knowledge and understanding to “be american” – meaning “think, speak, or act american” because they have been indoctrinated into a cult of hatred of being american, european, white, and christian.

    I do love this quote though because it states the problem very clearly:

    –“A people whose maxim is ‘Give me liberty or give me death’ cannot be expected to hold a vote to decide whether or not to be enslaved.”–

    This is true, unless some majority or near majority can be promised freedom from individual responsibility sufficent to encourage the government to enslave them.

    We are ‘mistaken’ in our christian and enlightenment universalism, in that by the time the promise of ‘an aristocracy of everyone’ was created in enlightenment Europe, the population of Europe under manorialism since 700ad and under ‘genetic pacification by hanging and war” so suppressed the reproduction of the underclasses, and so expanded the genetics of the middle classes, and beause of this expansion the means of production (agrarian land) was scarce, that when we formed the USA and spread westward, all the countries that were at least nominally protestant, or thus influenced, were brimming with a surplus of genetically potenial middle class people capable of individual responsibilty for self, familiy, and commons.

    We can not continue to immigrate people from low trust polities with no tradition of responsibility, and especially with no reproductive selection (IQ>100), nor genetic pacification (non aggression), who cannot compete in our economy without subsidy, and obtain the same benefits of immigration from the surpluses in europe.

    Whiteness (Western Civilzation) where America is the MOST western political order ever established since Rome, is the most genetically, intellectually, psychologically, and emotionally costly civilization yet produced by man – because it demands that most responsibility in exchange for the most liberty.

    But many people prefer serfdom because they cannot pay the genetic, intellectual, psychological, and emotional costs of responsiblity. And worse, it is even harder without christianity which eases the burden for women to bear that political responsibility – and those that can are not confident other women can ever do so.

    Cheers

    Did conservative justicies leak or did liberal justices leak?
    As far as I know, we knew within twelve hours who leaked the abortion judgement, and who she was clerking for.
    We always pay for people to come to our gatherings and proceedings. Justices aren’t paid enough to travel otherwise. Nor are academics or intellectuals – even minor think tank folk like me. All of us have appearance and speaking fees. Most of us will speak for free if we have our expenses covered in advance. The question isn’t if one benefitted, but whether there is a relationship between the benefit and a judgement: a quid pro quo. None of the justices have as far as I know engaged in a quid pro quo. They are aligned as constitutionalists vs populists and they are invited constitutionalist vs populist venues. If that requires buying a book I think that’s probably inappropriate because it is a quid-pro-quo even if not for the purpose of altering a judgement. But it’s not substantive enough. For example Obama’s book deal was pretty substantive and at least appeared to be a quid pro quo.

    Now, should Sotomayor sit the bench? Of course not. She is an anti-constitutional activist happy to bypass the people and the legislature (‘violating the test of concurrency maintaining the sovereignty of the people over the state’), and it’s not clear she even holds to commonality in law (’empirical discovery of common judgements of irreciprocities by the lower courts’). I read her opinions as intellectually incompetent for the office she holds. At least with Justice Ginsberg she was just merely a populist and anti-constitutionalist activist, but she was intellectually capable -and all of us knew that.

    RE:TURKEY IN THE EU
    An important if not most important criteria for EU Membership is Rule of Law. And That won’t happen with Erdogan in office.

    IMO it also requires Christianity as the state religion because all religions contain an immutable group strategy.

    A BROADER CONTEXT TO THE POSTWAR STRATEGY
    The broader context @PeterZeihan doesn’t quite summarize with enough clarity for average folk, is that the postwar era strategy is to end *empires* that privatized territory, trade and trade routes, and to replace it with nation states (the natural evolution of empires) with relatively free (market) trade.

    So in evolutionary sense we went from imperial agrarian religious, to imperial industrial ideological, to our ‘ambition’ of federated empirical nation states in the hope that the Smithian vision would end the ‘age of empires’ and their endemic wars.

    When we position the postwar program as just ‘against communism’ which evolved into “against islamism” this converts the framing of our understanding from (scientific) natural evolutionary progress of mankind to some pseudo-religious or philosophical context that is an arbitrary preference.

    And in my work this is a common human cognitive failure – we are missing the evolutionary causality that reminds us that we are just another extension of the physical world operating and evolving by the same principles.

    What my hero PeterZ and many others fail to emphasize sufficiently for my taste, is that different civilizations practice group evolutionary strategies that evolved during their first agrarian governments.

    And the result is we are entrenched in civilizational projects that vary increasingly from the laws of nature, and as such, determine our rate of growth.

    From the economic historian’s perspective, all other civilizations recovered from the bronze age collapse, developed their core strategies, and between 800bc and 800ad, completely exhausted the opportunity of agrarianism – and descended into stagnation.

    Where the europeans, had they not fallen to overreach, christian sedition, and wars of migration and innovation, that we could quite easily have had the industrial revolution by 500-800ad, and saved humanity from a thousand years of muslim destruction of seven great civilizations of the ancient world, and the european dark ages, and all the suffering that both included.

    ON THE UK VIOLATION OF THE COMMON LAW, BY “DEBANKING” POLITICAL FIGURES
    #uk #banking #canceling

    The purpose of the State’s “insurance of cooperation” (keeping the king’s peace) is to limit us to private behavior that is reciprocal, limit public behavior to fulfillment of rights, obligations(duties), and inalienations necessary for the production of intergenerational families of citizens, and political behavior to the production of concurrency, and court behavior to the resolution of conflicts by crime, tort, contract, and property, producing commonality.

    And yes, there are some ‘big words’ in there that you might need to understand. So let’s simplify it a bit:

    In other words, we are prohibited from interference in occupation, business, employment, family, access to the market of goods services, and information, the provisioning of utilities, and yes, the provisioning of financial services (banking). We may only resolve disputes by boycott, debate or argument, ‘duel’ (fighting) in defense of honor or commons, appeal to the hierarchy of courts, including that court we call parliaments.

    The US court is restoring the obligation of the people to use the legislature to produce changes by tests of concurrency (agreement between regions and classes). This is achieved by reversing lawfare through the courts, and limiting activism in the private sector, where both are simply means of bypassing the democratic process of legislating by successful concurrency, and never by mere majority, and certainly not by authority.

    As such, one may not interfere with ‘banking’ for political reasons, and arguably political affiliation demands as high protection as religious affiliation because fundamentally, under majority democracy, the natural outcome is for political parties to represent feminine left and masculine right factions, whose difference is feminine irresponsibility and masculine responsibility. And these biases are largely genetically determined.

    I will, at some point, have the organization take this issue to court and try to push it to the supreme court. For the same reason, the court is reforming now: the private sector does not have the right to engage in negative coercion, especially for political ends, and that applies doubly so to institutions that provide necessary utilities for ordinary life.

    Absolutely.
    Though in the west religious uniform (dress) is a claim that you have greater loyalty to something else than the polity and the law. This is suitable for empires but not for nations.

    This behavior will not disappear in the west.

    I fully expect that we will restore the prohibition of religious dress specifically for that reason. And Subtle jewelry will be the only tolerable dress signal of personal fealty to a religion.

    Because there are no ‘world religions’ any longer – that false promise was a hypothesis of the enlightenment that has failed like the others.

    Religion is inseparable from gene pool and civilization. They are means of intergenerational transfer of groups strategy. In this sense they are rebellions against the polity.

    Given that the west’s political system is the scientific, empirical, natural law of cooperation, and religious traditions are protected for the purpose of our children, the weak, and the old, there is no room for ‘hostiles’.

    There is presently room because of the Jewish leftist program of degeneracy. But this will end over the next two decades as well.
