1968 - The Year it All Began...

 
In 1968, a once separate Culture and the Marketplace were Merged.  So what before '68 was once separate from money (cultural capital) has become largely a question of money (monetized like so many YouTube videos), with pride in the dominant culture exchanged for shame.  Therefore, a Homogenized, but never Pasteurized culture where all vestiges of what was once a class-derived "social capital" are now derided as sources of "white privilege" contaminating the homogenized Multi-culture.  A  re-hierarchicalization and stratification of social capital has occurred though under the guise of  Social Justice and "Intersectionality".  Evidence that not all cultures are considered equal.  Subordinated Victim cultures, races and "genders" are now perceived to be "more equal" than the more dominant victimizer cultures corresponding to the 3 social relationship types - Dominance, Communality, and Reciprocity
"Dominance" as a practical social relationship type is being phased out and subordinated and relegated, under Reciprocity and language, as the object-subject of "shame".  It is no longer as often disguised in an indirect speech and/ or innuendo, but expressed explicitly in a social shaming or group exclusion/ ostracization via "cancelling" in a '68-esque "truth to power" exercise.

  10. Well... I do not declare myself all-wise...

    That is just common among idiots idea -- that any bullshit they babbled becomes carved in stone upon utterance... therefore they unable to step back or even somewhat aside from that stone... till it'll became their gravestone. ;-P

    I deem any of my own words as just a passes to discussion and disputable in and out, from any side (but better if intrinsic and reasonable)

    So... I just to make some clue... while simultaneously -- to find some space, to flourish? ;-)

  11. Critical distance... the difference between normal people and fundamentalists (idiots).

    That is that "fundamentalists" who are norm. Sheer number-wise.

  20. \\...in order of ""identification" with Hitler's mission/ goals.

    Well... it's easy to see that Hitler was IN SYNC... with them.

    Not his fault that previous prussian/bismarkian Germany was so overly militaristic...

    Germany itself -- was also just a result of historical happenstance -- being in between so utterly militaristic and expressionistic empires.

    History, damn it.

    That's why I meticulously decided to go into tech. Though showed more aptitude toward liberals... :-\

  25. Though... who was your Minutemen???

    What "mob's leader" they was listening? By which "radio"? ;-P

    ReplyDelete
  26. You... was so fresh and young... a New World.

    But now your sight is same deluded and your ears clobbered... as in any other Old World country...

    That's why your current "predicaments" you tend to perceive as so damning... is just natural way... that cookie crumbling.

    ReplyDelete
  27. The Minutemen were the "Sons of Liberty" in Boston. In Philadelphia they were the "Sons of King Tamanend [renamed- "Saint Tammany"]". I'm MUCH more familiar with the latter, than the former. The "mob leaders" were many, but they were all (masons) organized by Benjamin Franklin and his "Junto". Their "radio" were the "Committees of Safety and Correspondence" with messages xmitted through largely "native" American couriers.

    ReplyDelete
  28. The above is why "progressives" hate white people dressing up as Indians. And why the nation's capitol's football had to get renamed from "Washington Redskins" to "Washington Commanders".

  32. Well... every historical phenomenon is pretty much unique thing...

    And I do not know your criterias.

  33. My criteria? There are many "virtues". What's common to all of them?

    ReplyDelete
  34. They have no fear of the results of their actions...

    There's a word for this. Reckless. Like Courage, but with no Wisdom.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Well...

    like you'd have your USA... with serenity. ;-P

    ReplyDelete
  36. Courage and Temperance are OPPOSING virtues. Serenity and Wisdom go hand-in-hand.

    ReplyDelete
  37. ...for Wisdom's OPPOSING virtue is Justice.

    No Justice for Ukraine is Wisdom. Time to saw the baby in half, King Solomon.

  40. You want to surrender the rest?

    Hesiod, "Works and Days"

    The hōrā for quarreling [neikea] and agorai is a short one indeed
    for anyone who does not have lasting supplies of life-sustenance
    as provided by the hōrai. The Earth bears the sustenance, which is the grain of Demeter.
    Feeding on this sustenance to the point of koros, you are ready to promote quarreling [neikea] and strife
    over the property of others. Well, you will not be getting a second chance
    to do what you are now doing. But come, let us now sort out [dia- krinesthai] for ourselves the quarrel [neikos],
    36with straight judgments [dikai], which are the best when they come from Zeus.
    Earlier, we divided up our inheritance, and then you seized and took away
    much more than was yours, thus increasing the glory of kings
    who devour gifts, who voluntarily render this dikē.
    They are inept [nēpioi], not knowing how much the half is more than the total
    or how much of a good thing there is to be found in mallow or asphodel.

  51. The brilliance of the founding system was that power was separated and opposed. With a proliferation of laws over 2.5 centuries though, powers and profits have re-joined.

    “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.”
    ― Tacitus, "The Annals of Imperial Rome"

    ReplyDelete
  52. ps - The House/Senate members no longer write the laws. Their "staffs" work with K & J Street lobbyists to write the laws, and Department/ Agency bureaucrats write the "regulations" under the laws.

    THAT is the "Deep State".

    ReplyDelete
  53. It isn't a "conspiracy". It's a "cabal". From the Jowett summary of Plato's "Republic"

    You will remember that in the oligarchy were found two classes—rogues and paupers, whom we compared to drones with and without stings. These two classes are to the State what phlegm and bile are to the human body; and the State-physician, or legislator, must get rid of them, just as the bee-master keeps the drones out of the hive. Now in a democracy, too, there are drones, but they are more numerous and more dangerous than in the oligarchy; there they are inert and unpractised, here they are full of life and animation; and the keener sort speak and act, while the others buzz about the bema and prevent their opponents from being heard. And there is another class in democratic States, of respectable, thriving individuals, who can be squeezed when the drones have need of their possessions; there is moreover a third class, who are the labourers and the artisans, and they make up the mass of the people. When the people meet, they are omnipotent, but they cannot be brought together unless they are attracted by a little honey; and the rich are made to supply the honey, of which the demagogues keep the greater part themselves, giving a taste only to the mob. Their victims attempt to resist; they are driven mad by the stings of the drones, and so become downright oligarchs in self-defence. Then follow informations and convictions for treason. The people have some protector whom they nurse into greatness, and from this root the tree of tyranny springs.

    The Left believes that "tyrant" to be Trump. They are not wrong. But they can't halp themselves... they keep stinging and biting...

    ReplyDelete
  54. Yawn.

    SAME... as inside our genes.

    As we know today -- most of it is "junk code"... which prescribe "regulations".

    Means.

    One cannot "fk" the Rules of the World. Especially as its own living DEPEND on em.



    \\just as the bee-master keeps the drones out of the hive.

    Well... isn't that is what bees have to do themself???

    Unless they are grow too civilized? ;-P

    Well... anyway -- wanna keep babbling using computer and other such fancies of civilization -- MUST protect drones. ;-)



    \\and the rich are made to supply the honey

  78. Nietzsche, WTP 488 (Spring-Fall 1887)

    Psychological derivation of our belief in reason.--The concept "reality", "being", is taken from our feeling of the "subject".

    "The subject": interpreted from within ourselves, so that the ego counts as a substance, as the cause of all deeds, as a doer.

    The logical-metaphysical postulates, the belief in substance, accident, attribute, etc., derive their convincing force from our habit of regarding all our deeds as consequences of our will--so that the ego, as substance, does not vanish in the multiplicity of change.--But there is no such thing as will.--

    We have no categories at all that permit us to distinguish a "world in itself" from a "world of appearance." All our categories of reason are of sensual origin: derived from the empirical world. "The soul", "the ego"--the history of these concepts shows that here, too, the oldest distinction ("breath", "life")--

    If there is nothing material, there is also nothing immaterial. The concept no longer contains anything.

    No subject "atoms". The sphere of a subject constantly growing or decreasing, the center of the system constantly shifting; in cases where it cannot organize the appropriate mass, it breaks into two parts. On the other hand, it can transform a weaker subject into its functionary without destroying it, and to a certain degree form a new unity with it. No "substance", rather something that in itself strives after greater strength, and that wants to "preserve" itself only indirectly (it wants to surpass itself--).

  86. Norse Mythology tells us that knowledge of runes and rune magic comes from Odin. It is said that Odin received the mystery of the runes after hanging from Yggdrasil, the world tree, for nine days and nine nights. After sacrificing of himself, he was able to extract the wisdom of the runes.
