I never understood "The Terror" in the French Revolution either. Kurtz was a 'mission' fundamentalist. Winning was everything. It knew no bounds.
"I had to be restrained, because I was doing too much good." Kurtz, "Heart of Darkness"
He held no "ironic distance" from the mission, because to him, it wasn't "ironic"... it was "necessary". It established "authority" and the "law". As Machiavelli said, "It is better to be feared than loved". Can you make yourself feared? Or would you wish to be loved? Most choose the latter.
To me it just esthetizes violence, like so much of Bizzarowood. And the connection with Heart of Darkness seemed pulled by the hair to, like a little side show...
Coppola wanted to take the audience into the heart of the war, both physically and psychologically, to evoke a visceral reaction to the chaos and madness.
So far, I know only one movie where truth of war are really truthfull.
Chinese "In the name of honor". About one who survived ONE from whole battalion. Then gone through all war(s) till the very end. Then returned to dig up his forgotten comrades.
That one you stated, is just mere romantisation. Of war. And war atrocities.
Even in tyrant countries... there is whole crowd of people. "Those, who know better".Yawn. Who not only support, but influence such a decision -- to start a war. Are they "romantics"?
Our "Cold Warriors" saw an opportunity to humiliate their former adversaries, and gain prestige and position from the humiliation. Sounds pretty "old school" Roman... funerary games. The chance to revel in godhood and witness the humilation and suffering. So yeah, IMO, they are ROMANtics.
The Zionist Butcher Extraordinaire Netanyahu will not stop butchering innocent children, women, and non combatant males in Gaza because hisonly goal is the extinction of the Palestinian people on planet earth by genocide. The monster Netanyahu is the very definition of evil PERSONIFIED.
The same goes for Iran. Veleyat al Fiqh is the evil. Not the grand ayatollah Khameini. It was the Khomenini heresy upon which the new Iranian theocracy was built.
G_d told Abraham to sacrifice his son (innocent) and he was willing to do it... until G_d told him to sacrifice a ram instead. And ever since Jscob, the Jews have been "wrestling" with the choice of victims to be sacrificed.
You should re-read Aristophanes "The Birds". It's very prophetic and apropos "the internet" today....
POPS Take your advice? In what way?
PISTHETAERUS In what way? Well, firstly, do not fly in all directions with open beak; it is not dignified. Among us, when we see a thoughtless man, we ask, "What sort of bird is this?" and Teleas answers, "'Tis a man who has no brain, a bird that has lost his head, a creature you cannot catch, for it never remains in any one place."
EPOPS By Zeus himself! your jest hits the mark. What then is to be done?
PISTHETAERUS Found a city.
EPOPS We birds? But what sort of city should we build?
PISTHETAERUS Oh, really, really! 'tis spoken like a fool! Look down.
EPOPS I am looking.
PISTHETAERUS Now look upwards.
EPOPS I am looking.
PISTHETAERUS Turn your head round.
EPOPS Ah! 'twill be pleasant for me, if I end in twisting my neck!
PISTHETAERUS What have you seen?
EPOPS The clouds and the sky.
PISTHETAERUS Very well! is not this the pole of the birds then?
EPOPS How their pole?
PISTHETAERUS Or, if you like it, the land. And since it turns and passes through the whole universe, it is called, 'pole.'(1) If you build and fortify it, you will turn your pole into a fortified city.(2) In this way you will reign over mankind as you do over the grasshoppers and cause the gods to die of rabid hunger.
f(1) From (the word meaning) 'to turn.'
f(2) The Greek words for 'pole' and 'city' only differ by a single letter.
EPOPS How so?
PISTHETAERUS The air is 'twixt earth and heaven. When we want to go to Delphi, we ask the Boeotians(1) for leave of passage; in the same way, when men sacrifice to the gods, unless the latter pay you tribute, you exercise the right of every nation towards strangers and don't allow the smoke of the sacrifices to pass through your city and territory.

If it didn't get "institutionalized" it wouldn't be effective. The "golden bough" would snap.
In secular America, is' the "University Discourse"... the high priests of Academia who use "Critical Theory" to create new ideological heresies like DEI and post-colonial theory.
Trump isn't the "problem". It's the people who will come after him, that will transform his "instincts" into an ideology that will sew the kernel that will eventually unwind Trumpism... just as they did for Reagan/ Thatcher's global capitalism.

Yeah. That's quite what could happen... during WW. Happened before. Like with destroying that same Poland. With bombing of London following.
That's what I was talking about. Great that you started understanding History.
Oh. Wait. You don't. You still thinking that USA so ehow will not be involved. Anti-historically. Because it WAS involved. ALL previous times. In growing and growing manner (nazis had have plans to nuke NewArk... but, only ben Laden have tried it)

Wish I could comment, but I no longer study foreign navies. Back in my day (early 80s)under Reagan, we were always trying to plan for a 600 ship Navy... but with limited budgets, it was always a Hi-Lo mix based on having 15 CVBGs and enough "Lo" frigates to protect the supply lines (each CVBG needing 5 or 6 URGs - Underway Replenishment Groups) that would keep the bombs and jet-fuel coming. We also needed new AE (Ammunition Ships) to handle tomahawk missile containers - the largest piece of ordinance at the time that didn't fit into the old AE elevators. So "absolute numbers" mean little to me. And as I learned later, there are only two types of ships in the end... submarines and targets.

So much for the Post-WWII International Rules Based 'Open Society' Order that American Neocons and Neolibs keep insisting is still in effect and that they're fighting for. I'm pretty sure that the "pretense" that they still work is what allows them to continue to urge Kyiv to keep on fighting.
Google AI: The international rules-based order refers to a system of international relations underpinned by established norms, treaties, and agreements that aim to guide state behavior and promote cooperation. It is built upon principles like multilateralism, peaceful dispute resolution, and respect for national sovereignty. While often associated with the post-World War II era and institutions like the UN, its interpretation and application are subjects of ongoing debate and geopolitical competition.
//Russia didn't sign the Geneva Convention? Who knew?
RF didn't signed treaty with Ukraine with admitting it as a sovereign state and territory, including Crimea? Who knew? Obviously USA ignoramus that dunno Bismarck's maxim "treaties signed by Russia... do not cost even a paper it written on".

Is the treatment effective? If no, then no. I was treated in 2005, stage 3b colon cancer. Had it reached stage iv, I'd be dead today. My wife has stage iv lung cancer... being held off with genetic drugs, not surgeries or chemo. Her medicine costs $120k a year. Is it "wise" to keep paying it?
I only smoke occassionally. I can't afford the cost of the vice. I've been living on borrowed time for 20 years thanks to a chemo treatment developed in 1955 that hasn't been improved upon since. So much for the promise of "tech".
I have no misconception about the impossibility of war, merely the possibility of Ukraine gaining any territory back without destroying all of Europe and half of America. And believe me when I say, "It's not worth it".

Before Soros there was Rotshilds. Before em masons. And etc, etc, etc... of those who tried to dress (or was dressed) into togas of "ultimate rulers of zi world".
You're right. George Soros failed to steal all of Russia's wealth (Putin outsmarted him), so he decided upon stealing Ukraine's, for now... you're his "consolation prize".
The government's mission changed on 9/11...from serving the American people to ensuring "continuity of government". Terror no longer comes from the "outside"... it lives on the "inside". And Trump is a "threat" to bureaucratic 'continuity'.
Obama politicized the bureaucracy in 2009. It was weaponized to serve the DNC and their UniParty Globalist allies. It still largely is (Courts & Congress). Democracy is merely a lie/ myth. The Intelligence Community uses the media to pick winners/ losers, and now cheats when it needs to.
Well. You don't remember history of 20th century. Both world wars. Cold war.
It all like Before Christ... for USAians.
But you for at least must remember last couple decades.
Like year 2007 -- Munich speech of liliPut, where he proclaimed "Revenge of ner... RFia" And just next year -- attacked Georgia.
What did USA??? Killed him? Unloaded som good nuke on Kremlin? Naaah, pressed Reboot Button.
Of course, what conclusion could only come to liliPut??? That wars are O.K. One just need to produce plausible premise.
And in year 2014 it took Crimea. With feeding own oligarchs with riches from apropriating land and people. What did USA? How punished him? Just with shaking head and wiggling finger "no,no,no,mr.putin,no,no,no.you doing wrong.
So. Year 2022 and up tonow -- WHAT WRONG with what liliPut doing? That your DEMN propaganda calls him "insane"?
While he is absolutely RIGHT -- he just used opportunity -- to make RFia oligarchs richer. And itself -- more powerful.
While USA just continue saying "no no,no,..."
Know who was behaving THE SAME??? historically? ;-p
But of course you not. You are ignoramus.
That was emperor of China. Of old times.
When brits and other european colonial powers made use of drug addict chinese.... to make some good fortunes, from "fair deals", that emperor tried to send letters to king of England. With its "no,no no"s)))))
Remember Trump's 1st Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, for head of ExxonMobile? Trump's DoS needed to keep up the steal... only this time Ukraine's oil and gas. What do you think Hunter Biden was doing on Burisma's board?
Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org › R... · The Russian reset was an attempt by the Obama administration to improve relations between the United States and Russia in 2009–2013.
Yes, an attempt to trick Putin into believing that he could still join their club (after 2003). He wasn't fooled. The US Intelligence Community was still "capacity building" in all the former republics sponsoring Colour Revolutions in former Sovier Republics.
So why did Trump defund USAID (the CIA's colour revolution capacity building organization)? THAT represents a 'real" reset. Not a stupid plastic reset button from Hillary Clinton.
It is like in your Mark Twain story about "Yankee at king Arthurs... place.

Only I prefer to pose and examine each one in a rational and logical way. With assuming silently that it all what we can.

You even cannot state what feudalism are. Yet less to explain why it "techno-". You just use it, because that is catch phrase and common narrative, at your place. Narrative that make people agitated. But I. I'm not from your neighbourhood. I dont care.))))
You can call it technofeudalism. Or fleas-in-butter. Or whatever.)))))
//Technofeudalism is a term used to describe a modern economic system where big technology companies have power similar to feudal lords in the past. Instead of land, these companies control digital platforms, data, and online markets. People and smaller businesses rely on these platforms, just like peasants once relied on feudal lords for land and protection.
What a BS.
But well, from one who dunno history.
O.K. Quick introduction to you. There was Early feudalism, middle and Late. What you refer too, that is reference to LATE one. Which practically turned into well known to us capitalism. But with retroactive (from slavery time) GOVERNMENT protected right of owning over people.
And here is definition. Feudalism was a social and political system in medieval Europe (roughly 9th to 15th centuries) characterized by a hierarchical structure based on land ownership and reciprocal obligations. At its core, it involved a relationship between lords, who owned land, and vassals, who were granted land (fiefs) in exchange for service and loyalty.
And here is your BS. Technofeudalism has some similarities to old feudal systems:
Control over platforms – Large companies own and manage platforms like social media, e-commerce, and cloud computing, deciding who can participate. Dependence on Big Tech – Businesses and workers must follow platform rules to earn money, similar to how peasants depended on lords. Data ownership – Tech companies collect and use personal data, which gives them more power over users. Limited competition – A few companies dominate entire industries, making it hard for smaller businesses to compete.
As easy can be seen -- there is NOTHING in common. Where's vassals? Whom they pledge loyalty???))))) In our times when you can register at any platform, any time.

That is exact symbol of your ignorance. Yawn.
Where? To GULAG?
And that is what awaits you, your people. If you'd continue playing dumb. Playing "nobody's home" dumb-trump card.
Because. Your enemies. They of a kind that do not take prisoners of war.
Yawn.
Yawn...
DeleteRussia didn't sign the Geneva Convention? Who knew?
So much for the Post-WWII International Rules Based 'Open Society' Order that American Neocons and Neolibs keep insisting is still in effect and that they're fighting for. I'm pretty sure that the "pretense" that they still work is what allows them to continue to urge Kyiv to keep on fighting.
Google AI:
The international rules-based order refers to a system of international relations underpinned by established norms, treaties, and agreements that aim to guide state behavior and promote cooperation. It is built upon principles like multilateralism, peaceful dispute resolution, and respect for national sovereignty. While often associated with the post-World War II era and institutions like the UN, its interpretation and application are subjects of ongoing debate and geopolitical competition.
Get thee to a negotiating table!
//Russia didn't sign the Geneva Convention? Who knew?
DeleteRF didn't signed treaty with Ukraine with admitting it as a sovereign state and territory, including Crimea? Who knew? Obviously USA ignoramus that dunno Bismarck's maxim "treaties signed by Russia... do not cost even a paper it written on".
Yawn.
Well. You warned.
ReplyDeleteBut you'd be not prepared.
Until too late... :-((
Thanks for the warning. We're taking the threat more seriously than you probably want us to, as we're actively avoiding the urge to realize the "Fools rush in where brave men fear to tread" outcome.
DeleteCourage:Temperance... opposite virtues. Temperance seems to be winning the battle much as Wisdom seems to be momentarily winning the Wisdom:Justice argument.
DeleteIs it "just" that Ukraine is losing territory? Is it "wise" for us to attempt to stop it?
DeleteCourage or Temperance, which is the wiser or juster course of action?
Delete"Is it wise to treat cancer as early as possible??? Or... better wait until surgery and chem therapy would be needed (with slim chances of survival)
DeleteAnother word -- do you smoke? If not, why not?
Is the treatment effective? If no, then no. I was treated in 2005, stage 3b colon cancer. Had it reached stage iv, I'd be dead today. My wife has stage iv lung cancer... being held off with genetic drugs, not surgeries or chemo. Her medicine costs $120k a year. Is it "wise" to keep paying it?
DeleteI only smoke occassionally. I can't afford the cost of the vice. I've been living on borrowed time for 20 years thanks to a chemo treatment developed in 1955 that hasn't been improved upon since. So much for the promise of "tech".
See?
DeleteYou gotcha.
Why I so sure?
ReplyDeleteBecause I am some false prophet?
Some scaredy crow?
Some beggar of help.... or, whatever.
Naaaah. I just saw Ukrainians as example. That thought that war "impossible".
But well. You, USAians thunk that Ukrainians was and are just stooopid.
While behaving the SAME way.
I have no misconception about the impossibility of war, merely the possibility of Ukraine gaining any territory back without destroying all of Europe and half of America. And believe me when I say, "It's not worth it".

Well. That is YOUR CULTURAL NARRATIVE. About "if we'd kill Hitler... there'd be NO war".
Yawn.
But now. You have perfect chance to do that.(well, already lost it) But.
"Land of the brave", my ass.
Yaaaaawn
Ukraine... land of the brave... soon to be... just empty land.
DeletePft!
DeleteWhat?
Stoopid liliPut are that stoopid... to make what he thinks as backyard... into radioactive grave???
He doesn't need atoms to do the work. How many Ukrainian men die every day now?
DeleteWhy do you care?
DeleteYawn.
I hate to see needless waste.
DeleteWell. What is wastes for one -- essential expenses for other.
DeleteYawn.
You just don't get his POV.
It's essential for him, and inconsequential for me.
DeleteThat's... because of your ignorance.
DeleteYawn.
I'll pass on the 7+ armies per turn in return for the conquest of Asia.
Delete//Is it "just" that Ukraine is losing territory? Is it "wise" for us to attempt to stop it?
ReplyDeleteYou ask wrong questions. Is it surprising that you came to wrong conclusions?
Yawn.
Correct question is -- what will do RFia, when it would conquer all Ukraine. Or... Ukraine will be betrayed?
He will stop militarisation? And will say to its troops "go home"???))))))))))
While there is a chasm under RFia's economy. Chasm over which only unsteady duct-taped military economy bypass that holding it together.
But you. Ignorant in History and Economy.
And dunno. That RFia bloodyly CANNOT STOP war anymore.
Even if you'd make Ukraine to give up completely and instantly.
NOW. ATTENTION!
ReplyDeleteYou was interested -- do I have an agenda? ;-p
Now. I can state it freely. I have one -- I'm utterly and genuinely interested -- ARE ABLE TO GROK IT???
What I just stated as conclusion? And what you need for that to happened?
While that is intuitively simple for me idea -- based of knowing history. And psychology and phylosophy of that shithole -- RFia.
While you do not.
No. I only understand the objectives of George Soros "Open Society Institute" in their partnership with the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center.
DeleteBS.
DeleteBefore Soros there was Rotshilds. Before em masons. And etc, etc, etc... of those who tried to dress (or was dressed) into togas of "ultimate rulers of zi world".
But always was fakes.
As only STOOPIDITY are such a ruler.
Idiots... they everywhere.
The Rothschild's weren't hooked up with the CIA.
DeleteWhatever.
DeleteSoros is.
DeleteBasicly. Why you don't get it. Such a simple matters.
ReplyDeleteThat situation slipped much too far... down slippery slope.
Into ww3.
That it never was about Ukraine alone. Well. there was words of liliPut itself -- that it wants ALL Eastern Europe. And that just for starters.
You're right. George Soros failed to steal all of Russia's wealth (Putin outsmarted him), so he decided upon stealing Ukraine's, for now... you're his "consolation prize".
DeleteWhy Soros still alive, then?
DeleteNot fed polonium or Novichok?)))))
Because then Putin would be in the same danger from the CIA as Trump.
DeleteAs citizen of USA??? @@
DeleteThe government's mission changed on 9/11...from serving the American people to ensuring "continuity of government". Terror no longer comes from the "outside"... it lives on the "inside". And Trump is a "threat" to bureaucratic 'continuity'.
DeleteObama politicized the bureaucracy in 2009. It was weaponized to serve the DNC and their UniParty Globalist allies. It still largely is (Courts & Congress). Democracy is merely a lie/ myth. The Intelligence Community uses the media to pick winners/ losers, and now cheats when it needs to.
DeleteWhatever.
DeleteYet one Sci-Fi story, about colony on the moon, democratic, fighting against invaders.
Yawn.
About holding POWs -- that is basically European practice.
ReplyDeleteFrom times of Oubliette.
Yawn.
Well. You don't remember history of 20th century. Both world wars. Cold war.
ReplyDeleteIt all like Before Christ... for USAians.
But you for at least must remember last couple decades.
Like year 2007 -- Munich speech of liliPut, where he proclaimed "Revenge of ner... RFia"
And just next year -- attacked Georgia.
What did USA??? Killed him? Unloaded som good nuke on Kremlin?
Naaah, pressed Reboot Button.
Of course, what conclusion could only come to liliPut???
That wars are O.K.
One just need to produce plausible premise.
And in year 2014 it took Crimea.
With feeding own oligarchs with riches from apropriating land and people.
What did USA? How punished him?
Just with shaking head and wiggling finger "no,no,no,mr.putin,no,no,no.you doing wrong.
So. Year 2022 and up tonow -- WHAT WRONG with what liliPut doing?
That your DEMN propaganda calls him "insane"?
While he is absolutely RIGHT -- he just used opportunity -- to make RFia oligarchs richer. And itself -- more powerful.
While USA just continue saying "no no,no,..."
Know who was behaving THE SAME??? historically? ;-p
But of course you not. You are ignoramus.
That was emperor of China. Of old times.
When brits and other european colonial powers made use of drug addict chinese.... to make some good fortunes, from "fair deals", that emperor tried to send letters to king of England. With its "no,no no"s)))))
The Reset came after 2003 when Putin caught on to the scam/ conspiracy to sell all Russia's oil to American Big Oil and started kicking the American's OUT of the "great Russia Sell-off to Western Oligarchy".
DeletePutin realized it was better for Russian Oligarchs to prosper than US and European ones.
Remember Trump's 1st Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, for head of ExxonMobile? Trump's DoS needed to keep up the steal... only this time Ukraine's oil and gas. What do you think Hunter Biden was doing on Burisma's board?

The Russian reset was an attempt by the Obama administration to improve relations between the United States and Russia in 2009–2013.
Yes, an attempt to trick Putin into believing that he could still join their club (after 2003). He wasn't fooled. The US Intelligence Community was still "capacity building" in all the former republics sponsoring Colour Revolutions in former Sovier Republics.
DeleteBS.
DeleteYawn.
So why did Trump defund USAID (the CIA's colour revolution capacity building organization)? THAT represents a 'real" reset. Not a stupid plastic reset button from Hillary Clinton.
DeleteBecause... they prove themselves being totally useless. And utter waste of money? ;-p

Only I prefer to pose and examine each one in a rational and logical way. With assuming silently that it all what we can.
While you propose running round and round about it. With screaming that each one are mistery and metaphysical answer need to be found (or not seeked for)
Means. If we dunno, cannot understand yet some fact. You propose to stop trying.
DeleteAnd falling down to "ancient wisdom". Thought that ancient knew even LESS and WORSE, then we today.
Yes, we no longer find it important to weave the peplos. We prefer to perpetually card the wool. We know a real LOT about doing THAT! And little of weaving the weft and the warp @@

DeleteYawn. What a BS.
DeleteYou even cannot state what feudalism are. Yet less to explain why it "techno-".
You just use it, because that is catch phrase and common narrative, at your place.
Narrative that make people agitated.
But I. I'm not from your neighbourhood. I dont care.))))
You can call it technofeudalism. Or fleas-in-butter. Or whatever.)))))
Take it from Greece's former Economics Minister.
DeleteThat minister have a good track records? ;-p
DeleteEnough to become Finance Minister.
DeleteAmong idiots?

//Technofeudalism is a term used to describe a modern economic system where big technology companies have power similar to feudal lords in the past. Instead of land, these companies control digital platforms, data, and online markets. People and smaller businesses rely on these platforms, just like peasants once relied on feudal lords for land and protection.
ReplyDeleteWhat a BS.
But well, from one who dunno history.
O.K.
Quick introduction to you.
There was Early feudalism, middle and Late. What you refer too, that is reference to LATE one. Which practically turned into well known to us capitalism. But with retroactive (from slavery time) GOVERNMENT protected right of owning over people.
And here is definition.
Feudalism was a social and political system in medieval Europe (roughly 9th to 15th centuries) characterized by a hierarchical structure based on land ownership and reciprocal obligations. At its core, it involved a relationship between lords, who owned land, and vassals, who were granted land (fiefs) in exchange for service and loyalty.
And here is your BS.
Technofeudalism has some similarities to old feudal systems:
Control over platforms – Large companies own and manage platforms like social media, e-commerce, and cloud computing, deciding who can participate.
Dependence on Big Tech – Businesses and workers must follow platform rules to earn money, similar to how peasants depended on lords.
Data ownership – Tech companies collect and use personal data, which gives them more power over users.
Limited competition – A few companies dominate entire industries, making it hard for smaller businesses to compete.
As easy can be seen -- there is NOTHING in common.
Where's vassals? Whom they pledge loyalty???)))))
In our times when you can register at any platform, any time.
Do I not pledge loyalty to the Blogger App? The YouTube App? The Google Search App? Brand loyalty.
DeleteApple or Microsoft (or Linux)? Which "brand" are you MOST loyal to?
Other responses are on duplicate thread.
Are you a "brand influencer"? It's the $ model for cloud serfs. And MANY aspire to be influencers.
