    THIS IS WHAT it looks like to fulfill a campaign promise, regardless of the consequences, of ending ceaseless warfare trying to domesticate primitive people. The only solution to the middle east is to restore national (race and tribe) boundaries – and let them kill each other.

    YOU MUST BEGIN WITH A HIGH TRUST POLITY

    by Bill Joslin

    I would take the discussion of Trust a step further.

    Law and contract eliminate the NEED for trust. However, law and contract that results in this, can only emerge out of a polity that has established high trust in their informal institutions.

    (which is why, if you introduce a low trust population into the mix, law shifts from rule of law (system which constrains arbitrary discretion) to rule by law (arbitrary discretion hidden behind a mask of calculation).

    The low trust population erodes the informal institutions which results in a demand for formal institutions to fill the gap.

    This is why in a centrist campaign with a better platform she could win by taking the middle. Left and right are committed. But the middle moves. And she’s tolerable where others aren’t.

    Tulsi – Now you understand why conservatives hate both parties. But don’t burn yourself. You’re young. You will play better to the public in a centrist campaign, And you have potential long term. Take the best from every campaign and move center next election (If we have one).

    WHAT HONEST ANARCHISTS ARE GRASPING FOR: RULE OF LAW

    Alain Dwight

    Anarchy is a rhetorical illusion, it doesn’t exist in reality.

    There is no rule without rulers, there are no active nouns (rules) without actors implementing them (rulers). Every method of interaction has rules that are set and enforced by rulers.

    We want rule of law (suppressing free-riding of all forms regardless of rank/class) rather than discretionary rule (cherry picked application), and this is what honest anarchists are grasping for.

    The rest are essentially libertarians peddling the non aggression principle, which amounts to advocacy for discretionary rule because only some impositions of costs are counted while others are ignored.

    Most often, imposing costs by way of invading someone’s territory or subverting their social norms is permitted and so retaliation against such actions is considered “initiating aggression” while the initial imposition is not.

    It’s a great recipe for demanding access to low corruption commons and then calling it aggression if there are any demands or conditions required in terms of sharing the cost to construct and maintain the commons. It’s coerced association – ghetto ethics.

    NAP and anarchism generally permits blackmail too.

    While I understand the intent of the bill, meaning that they can’t be held accountable for the domestic use of information in an age of the internet, it is worded so poorly that it does in fact license propaganda by the state.
    Under P-Law this would be prohibited.

    THE LAW CREATES TRUST, AND WE CREATE OBSERVANCE OF IT

    by Luke Weinhagen

    “Every man a Sheriff”

    In a high trust group this is not a request, nor a demand, it is a description.

    That is the nuance I’d like to add – that it is our individual willingness to apply the law, and to self-enforce, that is the difference not just the idea (other groups see those very same laws, interpret the same ideas, as weak points to exploit).

    The idea of law, and its individual observance and practice, allows trust to be the prime mover.

    (shifting from passive to active)

    1. El sistema liberal se derrumba. 2. La derecha debe apurar el colapso, 3. para que podamos controlar el colapso. 4. y detener el colapso. 5. y restaurar nuestra civilización.

    TRUMP, KURDS, SAME VISION

    by Wills Sparks

    1. The Kurds are not “allies” of the United States. They are dependents. Allies come to your aid just as you come to theirs.

    2. Iran and Russia already control Syria, and military occupation of a foreign country won’t eliminate the risk of terrorism at home.

    3. US soldiers shouldn’t be asked to fight over land in the Middle East, occupy its unstable countries, and patrol its streets until the region’s powers all become friendly democracies. The American taxpayer shouldn’t be asked to pay for endless commitments to the security of others.

    If now is not the moment for withdrawal, then when? US troops have been in Afghanistan for 18 years.

    4. The first obligation of the US president is to the American people. Candidate Trump promised he would free the US from never-ending wars in the Middle East, and he intends to keep that promise.
