    Many choose private schools simply because it’s easier to gain assistance from the school in using protection personnel. IOW private schools see protection as a status symbol, and private schools are more accommodating than public schools.

    It’s very difficult to understand what RU is doing. If you lose a tank it’s 5M. If you lose an attack aircraft it’s 70M or more. AFAIK RU was saving the air force as a means of defending against the west, not as a means of attacking UA. It’s entirely possible that RU will choose to expand the war into eastern UA and/or POL/DEU/Baltics by air, in order to progress in UA by ground. They can attack supply lines just as we can.

    Of course, if they do that then NATO will enter with air and whatnot. And AFAIK RU is positioning tacticals to enter the north sea etc to cause NATO to back down because RU assumes the west will flinch.

    RU has no choice but to escalate.

    We’ve exhausted persuasion.
    We’ve exhausted voting.
    We have yet to exhaust the courts.
    After that we can exhaust the last option, repeating the American and English revolutions, by demand from the Congress.
    After that, it’s pointy objects, rope, and setting everything on fire.

    Anarchism is the Ideology of Predatory Separatists who wish to deprive the people of protection from parasites and predators – particularly from baiting into hazards.

    I lived not far from Mises home in L’viv. I walked by it a number of times a week, each time reflecting on the rails that led from the street to the inside for what must have been coal carts or other heavy loads.

    Today the people of Ukraine are still the victims of oligarchs. There are two I know personally, at least forty I know of, but numbers range up to eighty. In the past they were the victim of nobility and oligarchs.

    There are three methods of coercion. Warlords exemplify the force point of the triangle, priests the seduction point of the triangle, and lenders and traders the exploitation point of the triangle.

    The reason Rothbard and Mises contributed to what the Austrians called Jewish Economics, is that it was from lived experience and historical tradition. The ethics of the Pale of Settlement. The ethics of artful Organized Crime.

    Ukraine is and was a world of organized crime, and the people suffered exploitation of the population through extractive and abusive credit, gambling, selling alcohol for credit, and the usual traditions others have explained in further detail that I have.

    The germanic tradition whether Continental, Scandinavian, or British, certainly from the beginning of manorialism, was a competition between the nobility and aristocracy for wealth by competitive productivity. And the high trust commons of the Europeans developed because these exploitations were largely regulated or prohibited whenever possible. Read a few books on the economy of Europe in the middle ages and it’s not the dark story (other than the plague) the media advances. (There are few of them worth reading, unfortunately.)

    So warlords, superstitious ignorance-producing religious priesthoods, or organized crime whether purely criminal or under the pretense of commercial volition are all means by which people have suffered the abuses of those who can organize exploitation of producers.

    Whether American Credentialists, French Authoritarians, Putin’s Russia, Jewish Ukraine, any of the middle eastern despots, the tyranny of the pre-Muslim Arab tribal leaders, and even the seemingly merciful thousands of years of stagnation of the Egyptians – only one people has discovered the highest cost civilization that defeated the rest by pure evolutionary velocity in the bronze, iron, steel, and industrial ages: the Europeans.

    Why? Because of citizenship by reciprocal insurance by force of arms of individual sovereignty in demonstrated interest, reciprocity in display word and deed, including truth before face, commons before self, polity before self, regardless of cost, prohibiting all authority, limiting us to truthful debate, the duel, or adversarial competition before our peers, and markets in association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, polities and war.

    There is no alternative to this insurance. There is no alternative to the priority of the production of non-consumable commons that decreases the cost of daily life for all. It cannot be done. And the attempt to import the Jewish ethics of the pale under the pretense it’s an alternative is simply another feminine bit of denial, wishful thinking, of childish cowardly immature minds – it’s nothing more than the ethics of a separatist people seeking to profit from the commons without paying the high cost of those commons.

    Europeans won the world by producing commons.

    Private monetary velocity is a product of the production of commons. There is no alternative to a militia, the rule of law of the natural law of self-determination by sovereignty and reciprocity, and the devotion of proceeds to the production of sufficient commons that competition for talent, families, and the trade they produce and consume defeats that of competitors.

    FEMA is as useless after hurricanes as the CDC and the WHO are for epidemics. Organizing the private sector under the military or guard in times of crisis is the faster, easiest, and most powerful method of reacting to emergencies – not depending on an agency that does nothing useful at all.

    WHY DOES DECIDABILITY APPEAL TO THE RIGHT?

    There is nothing on the left to say meaningfully. The left tries to create impossible hypothetical, utopian “goods” in conflict with not only the right but with the laws of the universe.

    The right tries to prohibit possible and empirical “bads” according to the laws of the universe, and leaves it to the people to create goods, and only the people through the government, and only when satisfying the demand for concurrency, as a last resort – against the wishes of the left.

    The truth only has utility in matters of dispute. I work in truth, or rather in the identification and explanation of ignorance, error, bias, deceit, fraud, sedition and treason.

    For this reason, anything I say that is true and meaningful will attract the right. Because the right is the only group interested in the Truth.

    And that’s because nearly everything the left says is false, impossible, or a lie.

    That doesn’t mean that we can publicly produce goods where markets are limited. It means that there are always ways of assisting limited markets without ending markets.

    For example, the govt could own facilities, and negotiate prices for drugs and supplies and maintenance – yet let the market, especially for doctors, nurses, and specialists are determined by patients. With citizen’s accounts on the Singapore model pay the people, and the government pays the rest. This avoids the present problem of administration destroying competency and paying itself in medicine, academia, and government.

    I don’t really like being an outlier (outcast). But here we are.
