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.
Yawn.
ReplyDeleteSometimes one needs to explain to one's self what the social situation is.
ReplyDeleteIs it?
ReplyDeleteAt least you seems like start to sleep well with idea... that that is not new phenomena.
...remember when the Romans turned Christian?
ReplyDelete...no more "sacrificial gladiator games" at Uncle Julius' funeral.
ReplyDeleteWe're all just "supporting characters" in someone else's grand narrative now.
ReplyDeleteKnow what they call it when you find yourself caught in someone else's dream? Nightmare.
I see you having fun... at pShaws. ;-)
ReplyDeleteShe actually posted a funny meme at wankfiles... which is out of character for her.
ReplyDeleteHere...
ReplyDeleteShe's idiot... don't see an irony. And thinks literally.
ReplyDeleteYawn.
No one's perfect. After all, "the mother of idiots is always pregnant" (Italian proverb).
ReplyDeleteWell... I do not declare myself all-wise...
ReplyDeleteThat 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? ;-)
Critical distance... the difference between normal people and fundamentalists (idiots).
ReplyDeleteNaaaah. :-(
ReplyDeleteThat is that "fundamentalists" who are norm. Sheer number-wise.
Naaaah.
ReplyDeleteIronic distance is the normal mode.
Private Pyle (FMJ) and Maj Burns (MASH) are the fundamentalists.
ReplyDelete...they OVER-identify with the organization/ mission/ religion.
ReplyDeleteThe SS was smaller than the SA was smaller than the Wehrmacht.
ReplyDelete...in order of ""identification" with Hitler's mission/ goals.
...like Dervy and pShaw with the DNC's.
ReplyDeleteOVER-identification.
A lot of people voted for Biden. The majority were simply "dupes".
ReplyDelete...NOT funda-mental-ist "true believers" like Dervy.
ReplyDeleteJoe Biden is the current "Mother of Idiots".
ReplyDelete...Dervy and pShaw are merely the fundamentalist ones who caught the "true religion".
ReplyDelete\\...in order of ""identification" with Hitler's mission/ goals.
ReplyDeleteWell... 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... :-\
\\...Dervy and pShaw are merely the fundamentalist ones who caught the "true religion".
ReplyDeleteReligion is inherently for poor brains...
Ahhhh... the roots of Harry Seldon's Psychohistory. ;)
ReplyDeleteSleepwalkers in the "mob"... hypnotized by its' leader.
ReplyDelete...surrendering "individual judgement" of "justice" to the will of the mob's leader... and rioting.
ReplyDeleteerr, expansionist... of course.
ReplyDeleteas any empire are (and why you are not ;-P)
\\ ...surrendering "individual judgement" of "justice" to the will of the mob's leader... and rioting.
DEMN propaganda myth.
Yawn.
To make you powerless. Unable to unit for common cause.
Though... who was your Minutemen???
ReplyDeleteWhat "mob's leader" they was listening? By which "radio"? ;-P
You... was so fresh and young... a New World.
ReplyDeleteBut 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.
DEMN propaganda myth.
ReplyDeleteFreud, "Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego" (1921)
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.
ReplyDeleteKawanio che Keeteru!

ReplyDeleteThe 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".

Barely scratched the surface of it.
The Wiki described all their differences. What made them "alike"? One thread, please.
ReplyDeleteEhm???
ReplyDeleteUkrainian Cossacks.
ReplyDeleteWell... every historical phenomenon is pretty much unique thing...
ReplyDeleteAnd I do not know your criterias.
My criteria? There are many "virtues". What's common to all of them?
ReplyDeleteVitality? ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo they aren't known for their "temperance"?
ReplyDeleteThey have no fear of the results of their actions...
ReplyDeleteThere's a word for this. Reckless. Like Courage, but with no Wisdom.
No... serenity.
ReplyDeleteWell...
ReplyDeletelike you'd have your USA... with serenity. ;-P
Courage and Temperance are OPPOSING virtues. Serenity and Wisdom go hand-in-hand.
ReplyDelete...for Wisdom's OPPOSING virtue is Justice.
ReplyDeleteNo Justice for Ukraine is Wisdom. Time to saw the baby in half, King Solomon.
What all that... without Vitality???
ReplyDeleteSerenity... when one half-dead from hunger?
Wisdom... when one's mind deluded by mortal desease?
Courage... pft.
Temperance????
\\No Justice for Ukraine is Wisdom. Time to saw the baby in half, King Solomon.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember it till the end?
You want to surrender the rest?
ReplyDeleteHesiod, "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.
\\You want to surrender the rest?
ReplyDeleteI thought you asking about USA.
That you love it so much... that ready to give it up... to Xi.
They say (Plato, "Charmides" [aka- "On Temperance"]) that modesty is not a virtue for a needy man (when one half-dead from hunger?)
ReplyDeleteBut half a loaf is better than none.
Tomorrow is another Day
ReplyDeleteAnd by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again? Archilochus

In short time -- yes.
But when prolonged -- it's long painful death. AKA Gulag.
Tik Tok? Facebook is WAY worse.
ReplyDeleteHah... it's you bastard. ;-P
ReplyDeleteI quit Facebook 2 years ago. They put warning labels over many of my posts.
ReplyDeleteWhatever.
ReplyDelete"Designated Survivor"... you know, I like it... how without ANY shame they showed -- how "office of most honest prezident EVER"... became office of white-washing crimes of that office members...
ReplyDeleteBecause... "you know... family reasons". ;-P
Like "most honest prez" wife... demand to cover for her mother crime -- with firing head of FBI.
Well... they tried to dissolve it to the utmost... with: that was long-long ago, and for some sacred goal, and "honest prez" showed his STRONG NO...
I deem it as Encyclopedia of "Honesty of DEMNs". ;-P
ReplyDeleteAnd most honest of em there -- it's quirky queer... that just openly and honestly talking about such tricks.
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.
ReplyDelete“The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.”
― Tacitus, "The Annals of Imperial Rome"
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.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is the "Deep State".
It isn't a "conspiracy". It's a "cabal". From the Jowett summary of Plato's "Republic"
ReplyDeleteYou 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...
Yawn.
ReplyDeleteSAME... 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
Heh... that Plato didn't knew about "jentrization". ;-P
\\The Left believes that "tyrant" to be Trump. They are not wrong.

Leftists are Socialists totalitarians. ;-P
And in crowd. And individually (you was ABLE to confirm it many-many times... but still not sure???)
Well... I do not see it as problem.

ReplyDeleteContradiction in terms.
ReplyDeleteYawn.
Nietzsche, WTP 488 (Spring-Fall 1887)
ReplyDeletePsychological 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--).
:P

Try to talk with computer about such things... and persuade it to do something for you. ;-P
Why would I try to talk to monkeys?
ReplyDeleteEach "copy" then creates a memory backup (aka son/daughter)
ReplyDeleteWhich then creates and expresses a new "efficient cause" (experience educated program). And the evolutionary experiment continues.
ReplyDeleteThe teleology is then postulated/ projected backwards as "formal cause". "Final cause" is known only to Loki. It was all just Absurdity.
ReplyDeleteExperiment... presumes agency.

Don't worry, I will not be criticizing you for that. Well, if you'd not start arguing first. ;-P
Just reading the runes...
ReplyDeleteYggdrasil is a tree in Norse mythology that contains the nine realms that make up the cosmos. In Norse mythology, the tree and its worlds make up the entire universe. Yggdrasil is an ash tree that is strongly associated with Odin, a major god in the Norse pantheon.
ReplyDeleteNorse 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.
ReplyDeleteThis miserly prol... dunno runes.
