    HOW REVOLUTIONS ARE WON: BY SEIGE

    —“I’ve seen police of my own country, beat up women and children, but they cuck hard when dealing with minorities who spit on national flags and curse them. Don’t count on them, they’ve been trained their whole life to obey to the system.”– Stefan Rex

    You ask the police and military and judiciary to opt in. You prosecute those who don’t. The nation depends on the illusion of power. The economics of order dictate that the ability to maintain order is limited to the normative level of suppressible crime.

    If instead, we redirect energies from crime to territorial asset protection, then the crime will expand. If we prosecute those who fail to opt in, suppression will decline, and our success and crime will expand.

    If we are successful at suppression of transportation of goods, fuel, power, and information, the economy will collapse, and crime and rebellion will overwhelm the ability of the state to maintain order.

    If we have given demands *that are possible to meet, and solve everyone’s problems by separation* then the population will prefer separation and it’s contentments with conquest and its discontent.

    You can think like a democrat monopolist seeking permission from the state, or you can think like an economist and a general trying to collapse the frail system of incentives that makes the state possible.

    You do not storm a castle. You do not rebel against an army in a castle. You burn the fields, cut off the water, and stop all transport and trade, and people in the castle surrender or die from deprivation.

    The western way of war (See Van Creveld) is to resolve issues quickly before they lead to the accumulation of asymmetric power. But once one accumulates asymmetric power, the only solution is *SEIGE*.

    In fifth generation warfare, small numbers of men, who can hide among their oppressors, can conduct a siege just as muslim raiders conducted a siege against european, byzantine, persian, egyptian, and levantine civilizations.

    Siege wins – always.

    Thus endeth the lesson.

    HOW CIVIL WAR IS PLAYING OUT

    by James Santagata

    Fascinating watching this play out.

    1. Left owns the street, State does nothing.

    2. Alt-right (rather than Cuck-right) comes out and marches. Gets beat up., State does nothing.

    3. Alt-right, regroups, muscles up, stands toe-to-toe beats down left, States comes racing in to save left.

    At some point the State will go toe to toe with the Alt-right and that is when it becomes strategic to make sure that members of the state realize they had better stay home to protect loved ones. That is, go and patrol if you like but your home and family is not safe. Trust me. They will not patrol. Those that do are made a very messy example of.

    That is how the civil war will play out. One cannot concentrate forces everywhere. If you make the responders unwilling to respond, then the only solution is the military, and that is what we want.

    REVOLUTION COMES

    As far as I know:

    (a) the purpose of the event was to respond to the destruction of monuments to civil war heroes who had fought northern aggression.

    (b) The night before false reports were made by Antifa/BLL members in attempts to cause police to intervene. They fled. The police arrived, determined the demonstrators were operating within the law.

    (c) the demonstrators had a permit for the demonstration and were operating within the law.

    (d) they were moving to the part where they had a permit for the demonstration.

    (e) despite the permit the police broke up the demonstration and drove the demonstrators into large numbers of antifa-BLL who have, in every single meet, been the originators of violence.

    (f) they defended themselves.

    (g) some f–king lunatic got angry and ran over some leftists. And the right will crucify him for it (and is doing so this morning), whereas the left lauds their people for violence.

    You don’t really understand what is going on. The government folded to the 60’s violence in under three weeks. The right is merely attempting to work within the law to demonstrate that there is no law. Once they demonstrate that there is no law, they will no longer work within the law.

    Revolution comes. The era of a single federal government is going to end. Because there is just too much difference between the regions.

  • Paul Krugman, We are in a cold civil war and you are making the common feminine

    Paul Krugman,

    We are in a cold civil war and you are making the common feminine error of psychologizing it.

    In this civil war, as in any civil war, the parties are willing to incur vast losses in order to prevent the success of their enemies. And you find yourself one of the enemies. Which I suggest is history repeating itself for the same reason that it has always repeated itself: the belief that the levantine empire is preferable to the nation state.

    It’s that simple you know. If you cannot build and hold an east asian or western european nation state, you have no choice but to develop an indian or south american caste system or levantine tribal barbarism from which east and west have managed to insulate themselves – until the sixties.

  • I DETERMINE BUBBLES BY THE OFFERINGS COMING TO MARKET, MARKETING PROSE, SALES PI

    I DETERMINE BUBBLES BY THE OFFERINGS COMING TO MARKET, MARKETING PROSE, SALES PITCHES, WHO IS SAYING WHAT, AND SO ON – not financial measures.

    I use asymmetries of knowledge and value. In other words, I measure by what other people are NOT measuring. (This is also what soros does.) Why? Because markets head toward disequilibrium then correct during shocks. The harder the currency the less disequilibrium before corrections. The looser the currency the more disequilibrium before corrections. The problem with the current monetary system is that we cannot insure sectors experiencing shocks without increasing the disequilibrium of the unaffected sectors. Although I know how to fix that it’s not a good thing.

    Someone just showed me a NYC tech fair. I follow most of the new product blogs and sites. I mean, the major players are total f-ck ups (microsoft, and apple). The near monopoly of advertising between fb and google is creating a regulatory certainty that will define the next generation. And amazon is doing more damage to the local economies than did the generations of department stores, then malls, then big box stores – and creating tax and monopoly problems there too.

    Meanwhile we have $2M ranch houses in SF, the catastrophic failure of large numbers of tech companies, and all tech innovation seems to be nothing but fashion redecorating of the past generation of applications combined with marketing.

    Meanhile underinvestment in infrastructure, underinvestment in improving business software, and overinvestment in tablets and handhelds continues.

    I have been predicting this crash and the long term consequences forever. I said that the crash would happen in 08, that the effects would last through 14, that we would have another correction around 17, and that we would see a generational upheaval in 2020 to 2025. I was really, really wrong on china. I still don’t freaking understand china. I just don’t know how they are getting away with it. It must be so much more hugely inefficient a system with so much excess but willingly desperate labor that I can’t model it in my head.

    So as far as I know, this is going to suck.

    My hope is that we get a trifecta of the economy, overseas warfare, attempted impeachment, or maybe zuckerberg running for president, and that this combination creates sufficient anxiety to demand a revolution.

    WELCOME TO CIVIL WAR

    Yes, we understand. You need lies because reality is too hard for you physically, emotionally, and intellectually to accept, so you desire a fantasy world.

    The difference is, that once we are no longer seeking compromise, and you have abandoned all pretense of honesty, reason, and truth, then we no longer need to avoid adding insult to your genetic injury.

    We just state the truth: you are genetically, physically, emotionally, and intellectually inferior, and a detriment to the evolution and transcendence of mankind, and if gentle meritocracy is not enough of a life-raft for you, then your extermination is preferable to your parasitism.

    I mean. That’s the response to all their arguments.

    I mean, if you’re shouting us down because the truth is too painful for you, or your obstructing us,then you are, by your own terms, using violence against us.

    And therefore, not only are you seeking to forbid cooperation and force us to submit but you are using violence against us.

    So, having exhausted all options, our only rational choice is is simple, physical violence to silence, enslave, or end you.

    Welcome to civil war.

    WHAT IS AMERICA’S RUBICON?

    —“What is America’s metaphorical Rubicon?”—Brad Lundgren

    by Dmitry Chernov

    Constitutional Crisis. Several examples. Jackson defying the Supreme Court to remove the Cherokee. Lincoln arresting the legislators in Maryland to prevent Secession (actually a variety of actions he took.) In theory, Nixon’s firing of Cox – but since Nixon was Pardoned it simply doesn’t matter there. Ditto Lincoln who kept the country together and no one would think of prosecuting realistically, and Jackson who lived in an era well before those kinds of checks were really well-developed and acted decisively in his Executive Authority in spite of High Court squeamish attempts at interference. We’re approaching that again. The question is does Trump fulfill the promise of Trump, or try to make a deal with the deep state?
