How do you make that many civilians fight if they don't want to? It'd be very easy to surrender to the Russians. And this is projection. Shooting your own troops because they're not really up for the fight? That's always been a Russian thing. They shot 16000 of their own men at Stalingrad.
Like Jesus. When you know that another would have given their life for you. The one thing better than a role model is a dead role model. What they would have wanted, forever in our hearts. The love that was taken from the people is returned through the people because so long as men die the good will never perish.
These one-worlders promise to care about everyone on earth, but they lie. And the first duty in nature to look after your own family does not mean you want to hurt or to injure other families. Equalise compassion between foreign and familiar and there would be none. No compassion just like in London, Paris and New York, you'll get the Soviet people who couldn't stab one another in the back fast enough.
Parents will do anything to not have to bury their own child. Unless you're Stalin. But don't let the communists and the cosmopolitans make you think there's something odd about caring for your nearest and dearest.
You do have the abstraction of humanity but also something as concrete as your own family. And you can't muck about when it comes to your own kids. It's not likely to happen, but Ukraine comes a lot closer to having to bury your own child.
Partly because it's been going on for 7 years and partly because the "beautiful souls" cannot deliver the goods. At the beginning there was a rush to give up your spare room to a stranger from the middle east that didn't really last once people had thought it through.
Ukraine, however, is a little bit closer to home. You do get the beautiful souls but it's backed up by the will to defend your own family, a much more human instinct than humanitarianism. Ukraine is nearer in time and space and won't be quite so easy to forget it.
And if you do go to university without vital reason to take a religious education, then they own you for life. Aspiration will actually be killed off social mobility actually falls amongst the university educated, the little white lamb of god trapped in the wires.
And obviously the flaw in the puritan regime is the internet. No matter how many dumb kids we send to University for religious education that will not cancel out the internet exposing people to everything. We know what makes people woke - having a degree you'll never use except to punish those who didn't go to church/university - but the internet is almost the opposite of that like a new public square. It's not one man or group of men, but all men.
Not that I can imagine today's neo-puritans ever embracing the term neo-puritan even if woke is the modern equivalent of puritanical fire. It's just an example of the mindset you're dealing with.
Give it time. When the puritans started they didn't call themselves puritans, only after it won did they embrace the name puritan that started out as an abusive term from their opponents. Before puritan they called themselves the professors.
The loss of common ground to radical individualism. Nothing can happen in public because everything needs to be on my terms. In a way it complements the clannish lives of the internet, less general public and more the hills have eyes.
People start to question the enlightenment because so much has gone and little is new. The second religiousness comes on like void-filler. But it's not the first religion, but the memory and the highlights of it in a cultural rehash that misses the difference between the love of god and the hatred of the democrats.
And if my theory is correct then what comes from pacifism and irreligion is Putin and Trump. New Caesars and a second religiousness. But unlike first religion it is self conscious. Does it simply and intuitively believe in a god? No. Does it regard the people of the enlightenment as barren and exhausted? Yes. The second religiousness is perceiving the necessity of inventing god.
Before(and after)inheriting a lot of security from your parents there comes religion. You can get atheists from the dirt but they're rare, they hover ineffectually over affairs like pacifists did. Pacifism and irreligion only become mass in a society that's never had it so good.
Maybe in the Buddha's day it was more atheist because he was born at the peak of his civilisation. He was an urban intellectual representing man's triumph over nature. Every civilisation does this once it can inherit enough security from the parents. Rationalize away the gods.
The Buddhist laypeople, the fathers and sons of dirt, probably do believe in a god in spite of no evidence for god.
It's pretty much just Britain that trusts atheists like they were usual. Oldest modern country in the world. In other lands atheism is associated with trying to make the future happen more quickly. A lot of the world needs a word for something even worse than a Jew.
But then came the internet. To have thrown the wild west in next to a society bourgeoise in the extreme. If not for the internet I would be sure that TINA successfully builds a world government that lasts a thousand years. And it makes sense for that to be the problem. Every form of revolution is dead apart from technological revolution which can still throw the cat amongst the pigeons.
It's more conservative than the old church. In Christianity you are grateful to your parents, grateful to God, but generation me is something else something so much more self-congratulatory it really does take the credit for everything. Which is why we are in so much debt.
And I guess that's why karma and reincarnation have become fashionable. The most privileged people ever to have lived assuming they did all their hard work in a past life. An ethos so incredibly conservative that it's sort of asking for an uprising.
And following from this international women's day is justified by Egypt and Iraq.
But in the west it is the most privileged people ever to have lived applauding themselves for what they were born with. If applauding yourself wasn't bad enough in itself, to do so for an inherited position is demented.
In fact that fits my general rule. The scummier the place the better the women but successful men are better than successful women. I'd let the women do their bit making prison more like a hotel dragging the doldrums up to a safe average, but the high places must not be dragged down.
Disagreeing with what you say but defending your right to say it? That'll be a man. Not a man in prison obviously but the other side of the equation. It's a dangerous thing to let women set the tone of academia when all the most intelligent people in the world are male for a reason.
To be quite honest I believe that woman's leftiness begins and ends with using nice guys as tax livestock. They're never liberal if it means freedom to act in a way you didn't personally want. If a person who takes the vaccine, believes in the vaccine but nevertheless defends your right not to take the vaccine - it'll be a man. The real liberal will be a man.
And it cannot be otherwise. Most men are pathetic lapdogs around women it doesn't fit the idea of a free and equal society. Men have to be dictators to receive the same degree of false positive feedback. There's only going to be yes-men and strongmen left, nice guys and womanizing deadbeats.
And if you go back to the days of the revolutionary left many never wanted to submit to women's suffrage. Because they're going to vote for police in Hugo Boss uniforms which of course they did.
They belong in the strong arms around them to never question what's been decided for their own good. They belong to the day and all of its convention. Whatever is established, that's what they are.
