  • Why Can’t Canada Become As Powerful As Russia, Given That Both Nations Share A Few Similarities: Vast Regions And Are Next To A Superpower (china And The Us)?

    To create a word power one requires ~500M people, nuclear weapons, and sufficient access to natural resources that one can sustain an autarkic economy during a period of long conflict.

    Russia cannot be a world power. It isn’t. It’s a gas station with nuclear missiles, a lot of unemployed men, and a history of invading and conquering neighbors. The only reason russia exists is that the rest of the world didn’t shut her out of the financial and economic system out of fear she’d use her missiles.

    Canada by contrast has something on the order of 75K total military personnel, which cannot even defend itself without the USA paying for it (just like europe).

  • What Was The Worst Mistake In A Democracy?

    Enfranchising:

    • (a) non property owners,
    • (b) women,
    • (c) others who were not fully integrated into:
      • (i) Christian ethics
      • (ii) Rule of law, natural law, universal standing, universal application, strict construction
      • (iii) the absolute nuclear family ans the central unit of reproduction, production, and commons
      • (iv) individual economic responsibility

    without :

    • (d) giving each a new house of parliament/government.

    The english system of multiple houses created a market for the construction of commons between the classes. Creating majoritarian single-house democracy created majority tyranny, and put the lowest classes with the largest numbers in control of government and has destroyed western civilizations’ historical dependence upon empiricism in under a century.

    This required we basically develop propaganda, ideology, and deception in order to rule underclasses by vote.

    This single decision, made in the euphoria of the proceeds of the industrial revolution, caused the destruction of western civilization.

  • How Do You Define A Civil Society Leader?

    Civil Society means that commons are produced by voluntary actions of citizens rather than by the direction by and payment from government.

    Civil societies require high trust. Only northern europeans developed high trust at scale. Ergo civil societies are rare, and the western governments since the war have destroyed most of it through government intervention in under a century.
