    You hear that? It’s a bit easier to hear now. That is the sound of civil war. Just as expected, demographics, economies, technologies, shifts in power, all working together. And do you know why? It took the russians 200 years (((together))) and it only took us 100 years (((together))). Russia has exited the second attempt as a nation. The question is, how many more of us will exit as nations? Or will we turn into another Levant, India, Brazil, or africa? The future is not star trek. It’s Rio.

    #China is signaling, meaning they know that (a) the ‘Nuclear Option’ will be but a blip removing the threat, and (b) the worst that happens is that both countries get a new government. However, Americans get a new government every decade – peacefully. That’s not true for China.

  • “There used to be a brief period when Mao and Stalin were more or less Heaven’s

    —“There used to be a brief period when Mao and Stalin were more or less Heaven’s sons and spiritual brothers destined to change the world, with Stalin being an elder one, but it quickly deteriorated after Stalin’s death; with China seeing Khrushchev as an degenerate idiot, and Khrushchev seeing maoists as a spoiled children of the revolution needing a lesson. Tensions continued to escalate during Brezhnev rule which resulted in a military incident on a border. … After Perestroika there were many voices in the top echelons of Russian government to adopt Chinese way of development and learn from Chinese administration, which would make Russia directly subordinate to China in every possible way, but instead the current politicking allows a slow, creeping assimilation of far Russian regions by Chinese settlers and similarly creeping subordination of the trade relations and economy, while keeping a brave fake appearance of utterly independant, maverick Putinist state.”– Igor Rogov

  • —“Are China And Russia Military Allies?”—

    CHINA HAS NO ALLIES, ONLY DEPENDENTS **China has no allies. She only has dependents.** This principle is central to east asian thought. There are no equals. In all circumstances someone is superior and another is subordinate. When confucius could not solve the problem of politics he directed all men to organize into a paternal hierarchy, from the emperor on down to the new born child. When chinese history says ‘middle kingdom’ they mean ‘the center of the world’ with them at the top. Chinese thought requires the preservation of harmony – meaning non disruption of the status hierarchy. Even if that means doing everything possible to avoid speaking the truth. Chinese strategy, is to delay and deceive, while building up offensive and defensive capability, until a competitor can no longer even negotiate, but simply obey. This is a very paternal model of thought. It is not necessarily a bad one, for the simple reason that chinese pursuit of harmony, and parenting is somewhat grounded in their (rather questionable) morality. That said, they will kill millions of their own happily if necessary, and have far less regard for human life than westerners (or indo europeans in general) do or can even imagine. So no, **China has no allies, she has only enemies, subordinates, and candidate subordinates.** This is all you really need to understand about Chinese policy, culture, and civilization. Just as heroism sovereignty, reciprocity and truth are all you need to understand the west. In this sense we are not very compatible civilizations.

  • —“If you were the President, and you wanted to destroy America’s power in the world and unity as a nation, what would you do?”—

    This assumes American power is good thing (empirically, we have pretty much always been wrong in every single conflict). And it assumes it’s not a good idea to withdraw from the burden of continuing the British Empire’s network of finance and trade despite having dragged humanity kicking and screaming out of ignorance, poverty, and disease in the face of competition from marxism, communism, socialism, and its modern variation: islam. We are no longer asymmetrically advantaged either technologically, economically, or militarily, and we have even lost our demographic superiority through vast underclass immigration. So while the minds of children make moral and emotinoal judgements, those of us who have adult minds make empirical judgemnts. The answer is pretty simple: we can’t finance the world transformation from superstition to empiricism any longer because enough of the world has adopted our aristotelianism (empiricism, science, technology, law, markets) that it has been costing us quality of life since the 70’s. in other words, VIRTUE SIGNALING SO THAT YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF IS NO LONGER AFFORDABLE. But to answer the question: I would create power vacuums as did Obama and Carter rather than demand vacuums be filled by depriving other countries of subsidies. But this requires you understand not only economics, but capital. And strangely enough, mainstream (saltwater) economics, does not measure capital changes, only consumption.

  • The only Possible Means of Institutionalizing Scale Is Markets in Everything

    1 – “All human organizations evolve to maximize rents, until it is impossible for those organizations to adapt to change or shocks.” 2 – “Organizations that collapse due to the maximization of rents, and inability to adapt to shocks, do not recover.” 3 – “Collapse is caused by competing organizations with fewer or lower accumulated rents – seeking military economic religious and demographic expansion.” 4 -“Collapse is preventable by extermination of rents, by the preservation of markets for association, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of defense.” 5 – “Markets in everything are producible by a government that shifts from redistributive(liberal), to productive(classical), to warfare (fascism) in response to changing circumstances.” 6 – “Unfortunately, the human intuition is to pursue decreases in effort to calculate, and to maximize regularity, so that fringe opportunities are of the lowest cost to seize with the lowest need to organize to exploit them. And therefore, the human intuition is false (counter) at scale – as in all things. Those who seek regularity seek the luxury of freedom from adaptation”. 7 – “ergo the only possible means of institutionalizing scale is markets in everything, under a government unable to institutionalize policies that provide discounts in exchange for reducing the ability to adapt to shocks.” 8 – “that which does not kill you does in fact make you stronger, and the process of continually maintaining and building strength to resist the vicissitudes of man and nature, is produced via negativa : by preservation of competition in al things using markets in all things.”

  • Chinese Insularism Is the Optimum Strategy

    My understanding of history is that the Chinese insularism, is absolutely the optimum strategy. The principle problem wth the chinese was that they failed to solve the problem of competing interests, and tort law to resolve them, which prevented them from solving the problems of (formal) reason, and science. If the romans had built the walls, (which they started) they would have given us ‘china’ in the same way that the mountains gave india, and the desert gave africa, and the oceans gave australia and the americas, the central problem has been the tribalism of the people of the desert and steppe: the middle east.
