by Steve Pender Extending someone the privilege of assuming them to be trustworthy is costly (risk of theft, personal harm). Not extending the privilege of trust is also costly (extra security costs, loss of trade). Granting trust to one person but not another hinges on choosing which costs you want to pay at that time. Since humans are more averse to losing what they have than losing a potential gain, humans err on the side of protecting themselves and property, that is, they more often choose to pay for costs that reduce their losses. If you want to gain privilege, you must first convince the privilege-grantor that not trusting you is more expensive than trusting you. This means you must work on reducing your perceived risk to them. If people who look like you have a much higher rate of violence, you have 3 essential choices: 1) change your look enough that you are no longer categorized with them, 2) reduce the rate of violence of those who look like you so you are no longer categorized as a risk, or 3) increase the cost for others to perceive you as a risk. This 3rd option only reinforces the idea that you are in fact a risk (someone who imposes involuntary costs), and is therefore counterproductive.

From what I can gather, the current price of a slave in Libya is $200. Which is about the going price of an AK-47 around the world. It’s interesting that the price of a human life is equal to the price of ending it.

The Janissary System and Europe
by Emil Prelic The Janissary System It (JS) was the literal theft of Balkan children, overwhelmingly Serbs, who were then turned into elite Islamist terrorists of their day (except they were more like cops due to the Sharia element of the Ottoman Empire) and sent back to murder, rape, pillage, and torture their literal brothers and sisters after being properly brainwashed. The greatest lie that the Clinton News Network ever told (by omission) is, “how do you end up with a predominantly Muslim nation state in the literal heart of Europe, where only a statistically insignificant portion of residents speak, read, or write in Arabic/Turkish?” and of course by extension, “why is it that we’re militarily supporting these people, against their centuries-long victims hell-bent on not allowing an Ottoman Reconquista while they create a terror training state in the heart of Europe.” Indeed, I am alleging that we have multiple variations of the Janissary system being utilized against the Western world today and that as much as the media has trained you to think about ISIL, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Bin Laden, The House of Saud, Palestinians, etc…the greatest enemy of our civilization over the past half-a-millennium-and-change has always been the Turks and it is only the destruction of Turkey, or its own willing departure from Greek, Armenian, and Kurdish lands that would allow for a discussion about peace to even begin.

(from elsewhere)
1 – Russians murdered millions of ukrainians, ukrainians didn’t murder millions of russians.
2 – Russians invaded ukraine with ‘little green men’, ukraine didn’t invade russia.
3 – Ukrainians west of the Dnieper were prosperous, peaceful, members of the Austrian and Polish empires, and had their assets taken, their property taken, the graves despoiled, their traditions and culture destroyed, by russians, but ukrainians didn’t do that to russians.
4 – Russians (The Kingdom of Muscovy) conquered east ukrainians (today’s southern russians) and converted them to russian speakers, or ‘resettled them’. Ukrainians didn’t do that to russians. (Most russians do not understand that southern russians spoke ukrainian.)
5 – Russians relocated ethnic russians to eastern european lands in order to put (underclass) people who could easily be ruled (who had been sefs just one or two generations before), into lands with middle classes (who could not be easily ruled) and destroyed those middle classes. Ukrainians didn’t do that to russians.
6 – Russians used secret police and prisons to ‘make people disappear, and nearly everyone in ukraine today has a relative in living memory who was ‘made to disappear’. Ukrainian’s didn’t do that to russians.
7 – Russians set eastern europe back a century, failed, and caused devastation across the former (((soviet))) empire, and have neither solved the problem of ukrainian oligarchs, but put the people into greater submission to them.
8 – Russians paid 200 uah to poor people to vote for Yanukovych and then paid Yanukovych to undermine the ukrainian military so that the country could be easily conquered – ukrainians didn’t undermine russians so that they could be easily conquered, or pay to interfere in their elections. (russians did that themselves).
9 – Ukrainians are governed by the Oligarchs (gangsters) who are jewish and russian, and the government is just a proxy for the corruption. Ukrainians want to follow the poles into peaceful transparent democracy, but russians want to force ukrainians into remote russian corruption instead of Intermarium (polish-ukrainian) conservative democracy. (Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic are slowly developing the Intermarium, and Ukraine will very likely join them as soon as poland decides to expand its military.
10 – Ukrainians do not speak russian but ukrainian, just as poles do not speak ukrainian. Ukrainians and poles, the baltics, and the Old Europeans (Southern Slavs) are culturally european, and russians were conquered by and then conquered their mongol rulers – and the mongolian ethics. Muscovites and Kievans are only distant relations. Muscovites were the barbarians that conquered kiev the same way that the mongols had.
Because I understand russian struggles, love russian culture, and respect russian people, and very much understand that russia is right to resist democracy and the (((disease))) of ‘progressivness’ I am a russophile by any measure.
But until russians understand that their ‘mythos’ was as bad as the mongols, and that the germans were in the right to oppose the soviets, and that russia did far worse to themselves and the world than the germans ever imagined doing, then this russian fantasy will continue.
Europe ends at the Dnieper until russians learn to speak the truth no matter what the consequences, because that is what separates the ‘naive’ west, from the ‘cruel and dishonest’ east.
Clean your own dirty house first. Then the world will stop trying to contain you.

The Key To Understanding Propertarianism
KEY TO UNDERSTANDING PROPERTARIANISM by Luke Weinhagen Understanding this: —-“There exist only three possible relations (avoidance, cooperation, conflict).”—- … and developing the skill to accurately identify these categories, makes everything Propertarianism is exploring understandable and in context. Where I’ve had misses in comprehension has consistently been where I’ve mis-categorized one or more of those three as another in whatever relation is being explored.

GENGHIS KHAN VS CRUSOE
What provides genghis kahn with the incentive to (a) let you live, (b) keep your things (c) let you remain free of slavery (d) Let you keep a portion of your production?
It’s the inverse of the Crusoe’s Island thought experiment.
Historically, the model that we evolved with, is an evenly distributed but scarce population preying on one another to obtain territory, women, and goods.
How do you develop mutually beneficial cooperation in the historical (existential) rather than pessimistic (Kahn) or optimistic (Crusoe) models?
