    –“Democracy isn’t defined by the West.”–President of Rwanda

    Well, that’s largely false. While…
    1. Science was invented and defined by the West
    2. Natural Law was invented and defined by the West
    3. Rule of Law was invented and defined by the West
    4. Commonality and Concurrency were invented and defined by the West.
    5. Republican government was invented and defined by the West.
    6. and Democracy was invented and defined by the West.

    BUT…
    Those are rules, procedures, and methods of producing the consent of the people, by legitimate governance, through the requirement for concurrency in legislation and voting, commonality in court resolution of disputes, including a market (court) for the prosecution of both the private sector and members of the government, thereby limiting the criminality of the private sector and the corruption of the public sector.

    BUT THAT’S JUST A UNIVERSAL ‘HOW’ – NOT A PARTICULAR PEOPLE’S WHAT!!!…
    The interest of different peoples in different geographies, with different resources, and different constraints, with different demographic compositions, and different stages of development, with different historical traditions, surrounded by different allies, competitors and enemies create different needs for different moral, ethical, and practical policies and laws to right past wrongs, solve past present and future problems, and bring security comfort and prosperity to the people.

    THE WEST IS ONLY POLITICALLY DEVELOPED – NOT MORAL IN POLICY BY ANY MEANS
    The West is going through an attempt by the postwar marxist-to-feminist-to-woke movement to undermine the civilization from within, and the world should ignore all american and europen ‘values’ that are obviously
    immoral and harmful andand instead focus on the Anglo invention of the institutions that have made them wealthy and safe: rule of law by the natural law of reciprocity.

    THe USA in particular is at war internally and has been since the 1950s with the movement of postwar Marxists into the country, where they set out to use our racial conflict as a means of division. Then they converted to using women. Then to immigrants.

    So how moral is country, a people, a civilization, that is so weak that it allows sedition and treason from within?

    In everything: take the west’s technology.
    Government is a technology like an other.
    That’ is all.

    Doubt that the USD will lack stability or value given that no matter what happens worldwide USD will still be the most stable and valuable because (a) rule of law (b) size.

    The threat to the USD is our civil war if we can’t devolve the federal government back to the states, or our revolution if we are forced to bring it about by dissolution of the federal government by force.

    At present unless the US is overwhelmed externally by military and folly (unlikely), the civil war will likely happen, and the revolution might happen with outside assistance – which would be the cheapest way of defeating the USA, given how little it would take to fund and assist in the distraction necessary to produce a revolution in our current state of illegitimacy of the government due to overproduction of eiltes, capture, and rent seeking.

    (This data is only useful in the USA. Do not try to apply it elsewhere. We have legacy ideological, cultural, institutional, relocation, and family structure problems in the USA that are not extant in other countries, even the UK. Short version: the democrats interfered with the emergent success of black culture and rapid gains, and destroyed the black family and community, and separated black elites from their working and laboring classes, leaving them abandoned. This abuse of the black family and culture led to the suffering in slums, and was intentional because it was meant to shift the voting patterns in the urban north to favor the democratic (left, socialist) party. Fixing the black family is necessary because it is the cause of the majority of problems. However, (genetics) people of African genetics appear to depend more on prosocial organization than europeans, and so the destruction of the institutions – especially the communal farm and the church – were extraordinarily destructive.)

    Africa has potential. And Africans will succeed in that potential. There is nothing wrong with Africa other than it was geographically hard to reach, transport, and trade across such a large and somewhat hostile environment so the different technologies necessary for economic and political advancement took modernity to reach into the interior. The rest of the world is only ahead in time. Africans only need a bit more time.

    You will find that’s the worst possible agenda. Instead you want to create a set of institutions that facilitate cooperation and suppress reciprocity without requiring homogeneity of populations – or at least without requiring cognitive homogeneity given that kin preference…

    We already know that gods exist as fictional characters, just as the power of the state exists as a fiction, just a the value of paper money is a fiction, just as the perception of individual agency and competency consists as a fiction.
    This fiction of a god, like the other fictions, happens to serve its purpose just fine.
    But, while you may not understand this, there is no place from the quantum background (the fine medium) on upward for the divine or for any transmission of information. So we have ruled out the possibility of a god outside of the universe, allowed the analogy of god as the laws of the universe, and settled on the analogy of god as a father, headman, chieftain, king which oddly enough gives civilizations incompatible advice rules and laws -and through prophets and scholars who clearly make up nonsense as they see fit.
    God is a convenient system of weights and measures of moral behavior that assists in cooperation in a polity within that polity’s group evolutionary strategy.
    It’s just the simplest possible measure man can understand – capable even for children, women, and the mentally impaired, and the cowardly men among us who need such pampering as do children.

    We could involve you enough to understand our strategy and what we’re doing but it appears you are one of the ‘impatient’.
    I’ve been at this a long time. Our organization’s been at it a few years. We are a little behind because of covid etc, but we’re on-plan so to speak.
    If you want to feel good about taking action in the real world then you are asking to end up in a bad condition.
    Going on the road, starting to build relationships, publishing the law, starting teaching the courses, assisting in legal activism, and if necessary organizing a mass event – those are all possible. But they are only possible from a position of legitimacy.

    Good question Peter. Yes, friction increased as it moved east for the same reason all other development slowed as we move east: development is a response to trade and the institutions that result from trade, and geography is a resistor to trade.

Because UK had focused on legal and financial innovation…

    CCP’s “institutional advantage” is a synonym for human misery

    –“The deadly typhoon Doksuri swept through China, causing tremendous flooding. The most fatal disaster is not caused by mother nature but by a human decision. To protect Beijing and the new capital city Xiong’An, one small city in Hebei has been stranded in the water for days. And the authorities are telling people they might be stuck in water for a month. Beijing’s ability to handle disaster relief is displayed to the world. It has proved again that the CCP’s “institutional advantage” is a synonym for human misery and unnatural disasters.”- Lei

    Fascism was founded as a third way between liberalism and communism. There was no centralization of production there was however the emphasis of production on national ambition rather than private profit. Effectively both communists and fascists imposed a military economy with facists exercising influence and communists taking control of production. this is partly because the production existed in Germany and it had to be created with serfs in the soviet union. So these were practical considerations. Meanwhile in British Dutch and american model, the separation between the government and the industrialists was limited as they shared the same interests already.
