Identity and the "Che Vuoi?" Question
The White Guilt-Pride Pervert's Response... "I am an ally! I am Woke! I will NEVER criticize you! And I can be PROUD, thereby, that I am different from my racist ancestors"
There are no "others" that "are the problem". You cannot answer the "che vuo?"i question for me, but as a "pervert". You think I'm a sadist, so you cry "beat me" so as to fullfill what you believe are my desires.
Is it important to only empathize with "the other", and never "the same/similar"? Like, should good people only empathize with bad people (other)... or should the good people also empathize with the good, (same) as well? (Plato, "Lysis")
The 2nd Amendment permits me to have bad people as neighbors and not have to "change them". But you just assume "they're all good" and so disarm me. Who's more tolerant? You or me?
Oh, I distinguish good and bad alright. It is how I decided not to vote for the narcissistic Felon for president. Seems you struggle distinguishing the difference. Not ne.
Until one lays out their hand, showing whether their plan or actions are either negative or positive, I remain neutral. Only after they make their moves down the path of unethical behaviors do I decide.
The FOTUS made the decision very easy as well as compelling to work against his ignorance and delusions and to never vote for him and his hateful and divisive a agenda.
In "The Ethical Engineer," Harry Harrison explores the complexities of morality and ethics in a science fiction setting, specifically on a hostile planet where survival often clashes with ethical principles. The protagonist, Jason dinAlt, confronts a world where ethical norms are dictated by local customs and survival depends on sometimes brutal choices. Harrison's novel delves into the clash between individual morality and societal norms, forcing readers to question their own ethical compass.
Organizations take on the character of their leadership. It's called conformity. The US government under tRump the FOTUS now demands 110% conformity to his ignorance and delusions.
""Why then, per Tolstoy, do the commanders and historians credit such plans with unrelated effects? Tolstoy answers this in a typical philosophical passage of War and Peace: “The human mind cannot grasp the causes of events in their completeness,” but “the desire to find those causes is implanted in the human soul.”""
When the French Army went to war against Imperial Germany in August 1914, it did so with a military absolutely convinced of the superiority of its military traditions on the modern battlefield, of which the traditional red trousers worn by its soldiers were the most literally and figuratively obvious. Despite evidence that more inconspicuous uniforms were necessary, any proposals to change something viewed as foundational to the French Army’s legacy and heritage were fiercely opposed, despite the obvious need for a change. It was only after hundreds of thousands of casualties at the Battle of the Marne—at least some of which were attributed to the ease with which Germans could spot French infantry—that the French Army finally retired its red trousers from the battlefield
The reluctance to abandon practices borne of tradition is a strong one across military establishments, which often resist change until the realities of war force it upon them. In an era of increasingly rapid military innovation and adaptation, and renewed rivalry between the great powers, members of the American defense community should ask: What is our pantalon rouge?
So?
What is your pantalon rouge, FJ?
Are you able toadmit having ones. And try to overcome it?
As then Air Force chief of staff (and subsequent chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) General Charles Q. Brown described in 2020, the US military faces an imperative to “accelerate, change, or lose” the coming fight. This clarion call underscored the need for the Department of Defense to embrace bold, transformative thinking in its approach to innovation. Our service chiefs have since initiated significant reforms to force employment concepts, organizational structure, and the incorporation of new technologies,
And here I am... with bold new techs proposal. ;-p
Moreover, the United States is unburdened by a formalized class system, granting it the ability to match citizens to positions in national service by merit alone.
This first of these groundbreaking achievements is Admiral Hyman Rickover’s naval nuclear power program. Rickover’s accomplishment was astounding. “Almost none of the necessary technology was available,” wrote one chronicler. “It all had to be created.” Yet USS Nautilus was underway on nuclear power in January 1955, five years after program start.
It's the reliance upon technology. The red pants represented the need for the troops to display courage and elan. Troops deprived of technology act in cowardly ways. Troops with technology act in even MORE cowardly and dastardly ways. Like hiding and sniping from afar.
Every Achilles has his heel. But an Achilles has the courage to face his enemy and combat him mano a mano, so he rides up and down the lines challenging his enemies to single combat. Only the brave accept, ergo, only the "good" die young.
Grab a spear. Grab a shield. Join the phalanx. And PUSH!
Archimedes turned the Syracusians into cowards. Before then, all it took to defend the city was the presence of 2 Spartans. After then, it was cowardly inventions.
//American policymakers must ensure that our words and actions—in any region, not just the Indo-Pacific—send a clear and consistent message. Deterrence only works when it’s credible.
If you'd call it stupid, I'd call you fool. Deservingly.
America no longer needs deterrence in the Indo-Pacific. Trump and the NatCons are pushing for a regional North America strategy now with its' own Iron Dome.
Western defense industry has already started acknowledging that the Chinese missile’s capability “may be greater than was thought.” This does not bode well for the West and its allies, but the Chinese would be delighted. A viral Chinese social media video mocking the downing of Rafale reflects Chinese joy over the possible success of its airborne platform over Western technology. More importantly, the better-than-expected performance of Chinese weaponry in real combat marks a milestone in Beijing’s ambitions to project power, showcase technological superiority, and become a global defense exporter—all without directly partaking in an armed conflict.
//But to argue that the current system is the only possible design that can sustain those elements is to display a profound lack of the creative thinking we have amply demonstrated in so many other areas.
//America no longer needs deterrence in the Indo-Pacific. Trump and the NatCons are pushing for a regional North America strategy now with its' own Iron Dome.
Equally crucial is delegation of sufficient authority and autonomy. Innovations rarely fit neatly into existing organizational lanes and approval hierarchies. Rickover’s Naval Reactors, for example, bridged the Navy and Atomic Energy Commission; and Schriever’s consolidated authority as head of the Air Force’s Western Development Division was cemented by the Gillette Procedures, an arrangement that sidelined the bulk of his Air Force chain of command. As Schriever noted, rapid innovation is unlikely to survive “interference from those nit-picking sons of bitches at the Pentagon.”
And
The 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, for instance, were not merely a failure of US intelligence to provide early warning. They also reflect a US misperception of al-Qaeda’s strategy and capabilities, and a “failure to imagine” the terrorist threat to the homeland.
The Post-WWII Open Society Consensus is dying. It has run its' course. It has bankrupted the American Empire. It has grown BEYOND unsustainable. A new strategy is needed. The old consensus is sh*t.
Capitalism with Asian values needs a 'market' to survive in. yes, it's very "efficient" in production. It's incapable of sustaining itself through "consumption".. It must "export" its way to profitiability. It's a mercantilist State. And the more we try and imitate it, the weaker our "market" (and us) becomes. We need a return to Adam Smith. Commerce, not Capitalism. DOMESTIC commerce.
There was no al Qaeda. It was a brilliant strategy to bring the Far Satan close and replicate what the mujahadin did to Russia in Afghanistan. And like idiots, we charged the cape and CREATED a unified Islamic response.

Know who else was declaring such disdain in regard to Laws of History?
They ignored the laws of economics. It's the demand side, stupid. And to generate demand, you need an immense and consuming middle class with money to spend. And you don't get that by outsourcing all your nation's labour to the lowest bidder 3rd world country. Labour is only a full commoditized asset if your workers are all slaves. And slaves don't have much money to spend.
Commerce requires an "inefficient" and under-commoditized labour supply. Minimizing labour costs is a road to financial and market ruination.
He first needs a reason to get one. Affirmative Action and DEI didn't offer much incentive. Neither do sub-market corporate salaries. A share in the company's profits? I'm in!

We enriched this rather wretched repertoire with rationalizing ideas; thus appeared the oblapons, the amorous superlyubs, the floorboards - until finally every Zhivlyanin acquired a full set of fornication machines in his little sodomy. The churches, far from approving of what was happening, turned a blind eye to it, for the cross had long been put to rest on the crusades. In terms of progress, the first state of Življa, Lizantia, was in the lead, having replaced the winged predator in its coat of arms, by means of a plebiscite, with Pornopteryx, or Bloodbird. The Lizanians, basking in prosperity up to their ears, dissolutely indulged everything that was not yet completely dissolute, and the rest of the Življane followed them as far as local possibilities allowed. The motto of Lizantia was: OMNE PERMITTENDUM

...projecting his own hatred against his own race's past racism (and his current fear of blacks) onto others.
Anna Freud called it "Identification with the Aggressor" (an Ego defense mechanism for a Buddhist who pretends not to have an Ego).
You loving labels.
Those who other those who do not accept bigotry are the problem. Not those who accept and encourage diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
There are no "others" that "are the problem". You cannot answer the "che vuo?"i question for me, but as a "pervert". You think I'm a sadist, so you cry "beat me" so as to fullfill what you believe are my desires.
The only thing you can "know" is "yourself".
So I say again, "Physician, heal thyself". I cannot heal you. I can only (with right opinion) "speculate".
Just know, you're trapped in a racial Stockholm Syndrome that projects it anti-white racism back upon itself in the form of neoracism.
aka - white guilt-pride.
You see "analogy" when forming your "identity" when there is only "multiplicity" and "difference".
Labels, labels, labels, applied to keep your sense if superiority and bigotry well oiled.
...and yours dismissive as defense against it. :)
No defense. Simply awareness of experience stated as observation.
You know people who don't use words and ideas to express concepts?
Ah, empathy doesn't need logos... merely the sight of 'others' in apparent pain or distress. How convenient for you...
There can NEVER be too much empathy... even if it kills you. @@
Is it important to only empathize with "the other", and never "the same/similar"? Like, should good people only empathize with bad people (other)... or should the good people also empathize with the good, (same) as well? (Plato, "Lysis")
Your fixation on good/bad duality is your problem. For othering cannot be judged to mean just goid/bad. Fix it.
You inability to distinguish good/bad says a lot for your character. Fix it.
The 2nd Amendment permits me to have bad people as neighbors and not have to "change them". But you just assume "they're all good" and so disarm me. Who's more tolerant? You or me?
Oh, I distinguish good and bad alright. It is how I decided not to vote for the narcissistic Felon for president. Seems you struggle distinguishing the difference. Not ne.
//Not those who accept and encourage diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Yeah. As I communicated with one.
Said -- you have me here -- I tolerate your ideas.
To what response was "WAH??? You need to honor em!!!"
To what what my retort was: "Honor, it's something that need to be earned. And cannot be granted free of charge"

Simple. Not complicated.
We all love our confirmation bias'....
Unethical behaviours don't both me (ethics=group dynamics). Immoral behaviours do. (morals=an individual's dynamic). And I can forgive both.
In other words, "nothing's simple".
//And I can forgive both.
Not when that immoral holds a knife at your throat. I hope...
Not in that moment, I suppose. If I live, maybe after... but maybe not. ;)
Yap.
But demns preach premature and absolute pardoning... and same banning.))))
Oh, it reminds to me something... Oh, yes, cringe of Abrahamic religion on "divine justice". ;-p
Zizek calls "violence" Divine Justice...
Unethical is my preference for defining behaviors that are negative to human experience.
Immoral has too many overlays carrying the hypocrisy and delusions of Abrahamic religions.
Your language game has its' grammar, mine has mine. To adhere to ethics is to be controlled by others.
There are "negative ethics" after all... like the Ethics of Kitsch.
Unethical behavoirs are fine with you?
Good to know.
Depends upon the "ethic". Not all are "good". The CIA has an ethic. Think everyone should follow it?
//Unethical is my preference for defining behaviors that are negative to human experience.
Whose experience?
Bank robbers feels great, for example. Does it make him ethical?

The churches, far from approving of what was happening, turned a blind eye to it, for the cross had long been put to rest on the crusades. In terms of progress, the first state of Življa, Lizantia, was in the lead, having replaced the winged predator in its coat of arms, by means of a plebiscite, with Pornopteryx, or Bloodbird. The Lizanians, basking in prosperity up to their ears, dissolutely indulged everything that was not yet completely dissolute, and the rest of the Življane followed them as far as local possibilities allowed. The motto of Lizantia was: OMNE PERMITTENDUM
Forgot bootleggers case?
We can't afford drones once we stop sending billions to Ukraine? And what will we do with all the EOS and NRO satellites that'll need re-tasking?
That really is modern America!
Just like Rome in The Satyricon. Empire past its' peak.
What about an Empire once its' conquered everything.... and declines and starts losing its' vassals, and no longer has the mean$ to impose its agenda? Should the "agenda" change? Its' telos change?
...because there is none. Parents goal/telos is to make their children INdependent.
The childrens debt is to have to watch them die.
Europe could still do what America did. But it won't. It's too proud and stuck in its' ways. It would rather die.
Sorry ma, its' time to pull the plug...
Western Canada already is talking secession... and we LIKE volunteers. :)
//...because there is none. Parents goal/telos is to make their children INdependent.
It's just your local and barbarously uncivilized bad-bad--bad-wrong customs. ;-p
//What about an Empire once its' conquered everything.... and declines and starts losing its' vassals, and no longer has the mean$ to impose its agenda? Should the "agenda" change? Its' telos change?
That is exact reason why I say that you boasting about but have actually none multitemporal multicultural and history understanding.
Yawn.
//If we truly want to strengthen Europe, the first step is not to rearm. It is to forge the democratic union
Good must be with iron fists.
Otherwise, what good it is???

Dunno. You say.
Do you even understqne thqt id do not understand premices of half of what you talking about.
And don't care about other half.
So much for "having agenda",my ass. Yawn
The volunteer is 2x as productive as the slave.
Yup! But do you really want your kids stealing your Social Security checks and locking you in the basement?
What, we should collapse like Rome, or build walls like Constantinople?
"Come, American... fight Russia for us. Your soft-power tactics failed. Use your hard power!"
Me- "we'll save the hard power when they come for us... molon labe".
Osama sucked us in with 9/11. He won the molon labe fight.
Look to Europe for your salvation. They will supply your molon labe fight.
...for you are the new Balkans.
...and the Dnieper is the edge.
Very first lesson of History... is that nobody learn from history lessons. (tiredly)
WAT zat is?
And. How it relates??? :-/
//"Come, American... fight Russia for us. Your soft-power tactics failed. Use your hard power!"
//Me- "we'll save the hard power when they come for us... molon labe".
When Rome fell???
When one of its legions was defeated at distant outposts?
No.
That happened when romans (and then their successors visantia) allowed that barbarians to come and nail their shield to a capitol gates. ;-p
//Osama sucked us in with 9/11. He won the molon labe fight.
That's your propaganda BS.
All other world sees it as your defeat and reason you lost your balls.
Yawn.
Always put a velvet glove over your iron fist. It pays dividends.
Digging up their inheritance and locking you in the root cellar?
No pensioners in Ukraine?
Constantinople must have learned something, they lasted way longer than Rome.
They weren't over-extended with Empire?
Why weren't those legions waiting to defend Rome at the Rubicon?
No we lost because you shouldn't push with a rope (and don't bring up a wet-frozen rope).
We reacted to the 9/11 attach exactly as bin Laden wanted us to react. We rushed in hard-power instead of increasing the soft power that kept the Islamic masses from rushing to the defense of Islam.
Hamlet vs. Ophelia. Station 11.
Whatever.
It changes nothing.
And especially that fact that whole world sees you as ball less cowards now.
???
Whatever. No empire can pass test of time.
Only ethnic nation. Can transform. And resurface.
At least we sing better... ;)
Exactly, they were defending Gaul, or some other meaningless province of the empire.
Exactly.
Inter-marriage. Loving v. Virginia.
Your propaganda again? (or, yet one verse from Lem)
Better to be thought a ball-less coward then proven so. We are the "far Satan". If you want to succeed, you'll have to work closer with the "near Satan". Just ask Israel... although they're a bit too far, yet. But then again, you have different neighbors.
America - The arsenal of democracy.
We'll sell you what you need. But we no longer give it away just to see it squandered. We no longer have trillions for bombs dropped in deserts on sand dunes.
Through LendLease? ;-p. )))
Biden's joke. Again.)))
We'll need to do a credit check first...
