    (roman skaskiw)

    1) Everyone accustomed to truth telling

    2) Journalists accustomed to relying on official sources

    3) Journalists accustomed to telling both sides

    4) Russians extremely good at penetrating and influencing dissenting political movements (they’ve been doing it for centuries — see Joseph Conrad’s “Secret Agent” for an albeit fictional pre-Soviet example).

    ^^ this is why you hear Russian propaganda coming from libertarians, nationalists and communists.

    Amazing that Russia is able to create an imaginary world for communists from Italy, Spain, and Texas who will fight for the separatists thinking the goal is world communism (or else they pretend to think it):

  • IV. EXAMPLES THAT LYING (AND PARANOIA) RUN DEEP IN THE RUSSIAN PSYCHE (Roman Ska

    IV. EXAMPLES THAT LYING (AND PARANOIA) RUN DEEP IN THE RUSSIAN PSYCHE

    (Roman Skaskiw)

    1) Patton – “The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinaman or a Japanese, and from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them, except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other Asiatic characteristics, the Russian has no regard for human life and is an all out son of bitch, barbarian, and chronic drunk.”

    2) Bismark – “A treaty with Russia is not worth the paper it is printed on.”

    3) observed in 1893 by theologian Vladimir Solovyov:

    “Let us imagine a person healthy in body and strong, talented and not unkind — for such is quite justly the general view of the Russian people. We know that this person (or people) is now in a very sorry state. If we want to help him, we have first to understand what is wrong with him. Thus we learn that he is not really mad; his mind is merely afflicted to a considerable extent by false ideas approaching folie de grandeur and a hostility towards everyone and everything. Indifferent to his real advantage, indifferent to damage likely to be caused, he imagines dangers that do not exist, and builds upon them the most absurd propositions. It seems to him that all his neighbours offend him, that they insufficiently bow to his greatness and in every way want to harm him. He accuses everyone in his family of damaging and deserting him, of crossing over to the enemy camp. He imagines that his neighbours want to undermine his house and even to launch an armed attack. Therefore he will spend enormous sums on the purchase of arms, revolvers and iron locks. If he has any time left, he will turn against his family. We shall not, of course, give him money, even though we are eager to help him, but will try to persuade him that his ideas are wrong and unjustified. If he will still not be convinced and if he perseveres in his mania, neither money nor drugs will help. “

    4) 19th Century French Traveler & Writer Marquis De Custine:

    – He describes a Russian civil servant bragging in 1839: “Russia lies, denies the facts, makes war on the evidence, and wins!”

    – “Russia is a nation of mutes; some magician has changed sixty million men into automatons.”

    – “I don’t reproach the Russians for being what they are; what I blame them for is their desire to appear to be what we [Europeans] are…. They are much less interested in being civilized than in making us believe them so… They would be quite content to be in effect more awful and barbaric than they actually are, if only others could thereby be made to believe them better and more civilized.”

    V. REASONS LYING IS PART OF RUSSIAN CIVILIZATION

    (Roman Skaskiw)

    1) They have been solving the problem of creating a culture to justify their state. And their enormous tangle of lies will unravel with the truth:

    The accumulated weight of Russia’s lies has to be pressing on something – there has to be a consequence to it.

    For centuries they’ve valued strength above everything else, but they lie to achieve it, and because no one can trust anyone else, they are far weaker than their European neighbors. Maybe it’s time for them to understand the truth.

    But to accept it, Russians need a moral exit. They need a way to feel good about themselves that isn’t a lie. They need to rediscover their own story. They need a new mythology.

    But they’ve been lied to for so long: Russians are not ‘Rus’. They are not Kievan. They are Muscovites – Europeans, mostly – but their culture and institutions are Byzantine, Mongol, Tatar and Islamic. And that is an unappealing, uninspiring history.

    This conflict may be truth’s conquest of strength. It will continue toward Moscow because truth and cooperation is stronger than strength exercised as savagery and corruption.

    The faster Muskovites find their story and return to their roots, the less people will suffer.

    2) They inherited institutions from the Golden Horde, and before intermarrying with the Finno-Ugric, Turkik, and Slavic people in and around Muskovy, they led them for two generations, training the locals in brutality and lying by example.

  • LIBERTINES. YOU’RE INFECTED. BUT WE HAVE A CURE: PROPERTARIANISM Dear Cosmopolit

    LIBERTINES. YOU’RE INFECTED. BUT WE HAVE A CURE: PROPERTARIANISM

    Dear Cosmopolitan Libertines:

    You’re Infected. Infected with a virus of the mind.

    When you hear the word commons, you’ve been misled by the artificial limits to the category of property established by the principle of ‘intersubjectively verifiable property’: material things. Yes, material things may be scarce. But cooperation is more scarce. And cooperation is always a shareholder good. And as such, a commons for those shareholders.

    So, first, you confuse those property rights necessary for the construction of production under inter-temporal division of perception, cognition, knowledge, planning and labor, with the production of institutional commons: informal and formal institutions. (property rights, truth telling, courts, the jury, rule of law, the common law, liberty, and the militia.)

    And secondly you presuppose that a commons of necessity can be consumed rather than an investment merely maintained and used (a park).

    And thirdly you presuppose that the construction of commons must be performed monopolistically rather than civically (a courthouse, a temple, rule of law).

    And fourth you presuppose that entry into the market is a sufficient payment for constructing the voluntary organization of production that we call consumer capitalism. When this is illogical: if one cannot make use of the market, then it is not logical for him to pay for it by forgoing opportunities for predation, parasitism and consumption. So you wish your market – the voluntary organization of innovation, production, distribution and trade – to be purchased at a discount, if not for free. That in itself an act of parasitism: forgoing an opportunity for trade.

    Physical resources must be acquired, but institutional resources must be constructed. Both bear costs. But property rights themselves are a commons. The west is better at the production of commons than any other group. The reason being we evolved from a civic society and voluntary organization of production instead of forced production in the lands of irrigation, or primitivism of tribal conflict of the steppe and desert.

    You have been infected by the cosmopolitan libertines with a cognitive error. This is what they do. They create mental viruses. They create these viruses out of the repetition of half-truths therefore resulting in a process of suggestion that overwhelms reason.

    And you’ve been infected.

    It’s OK. We have a cure.

    Propertarianism.

    —“Mainstream Economics is not a practiced as a science of man but as a science of the deception of man. Not how to improve cooperation by reducing transaction costs and uncertainties but how to force consumption for the purpose of increasing employment.”—

    Of course the simplest method here is to stop distorting the labor economy and directly redistribute liquidity to consumers such that employment makes less of an impact on the unemployed. That would have a side effect of impoverishing the financial sector. Which is a good thing.

    I have been looking into political correctness. I’m sure you must have covered this, but can’t see where – unless it’s just covered by generally being untruthful. I came across the book ‘Thought Prison: the fundamental nature of Political Correctness’, by Professor Bruce Charlton, which looks a useful discourse on the subject. The author uses the term instead of liberalism or socialism.

    He believes that the PC are nihilists, truth is a social construct and that this strikes at the root of vitality.

    What is your take on the subject? Apologies for the Amazon link, but it was the best I could find – there’s also a useful blog on this that FB didn’t seem to want to let me post:
