There is a flow between offensive and defensive warfare based on tech. In cryptography there is the flow between ease of encryption and decipherability. There is the flow between propaganda and truth (truth plays catchup, perception is reality, wile e coyote doesn’t fall off the cliff till he looks down, so does social order).

Drones are seen as tools of the state, but given even cell phone batteries, hair dryer motors, a kinect sensor bar, radio, actuators, a processor, pistol, and the right pdf file, you have a fleet of drone killing machines hiding behind every blade of grass. Cryptocurrency stands as an even bigger threat to the status quo.

Tech is an arms race, Gnon doesn’t give us the luxury of not participating. Ares is impartial to politics, war doesn’t swim left or right, it is fog, and it is fickle. There is chaos in the aggregate of warfare, but individual wars are often decided by uncontrollable unpredictable things like weather. This is why you take every advantage you can.

Michael never underestimate how far people will go to avoid trouble. Really the reason for leadership is to get them in a gang/hunting pack so they feel both safety and have official blessing. It’s why we’re not allowed leaders.

In the end gravity, atavism and numbers will tell.

These desperate machinations but prolong their sickly days.

Agree except this “Increasing tech capability to defang the state.” That is the exact opposite of techs trend. Including above all Silicon Valley. Folly to believe tech does anything but give the state better Intel and weapons but information above all. And money. The HHS hub has every extant bit of digital information about Americans, I predicted Obamacare was the Domesday book and events proven correct.

Technologies are tools. That’s all. And the Tech sector itself the most willing whores the Cathedral ever came across, compared to them Detroit and even the Unions were the defenders of Stalingrad.

Thanks for the clarity.

I don’t necessarily disagree with your assessment.

(While I suspect that Chinese matter more to the fate of the Earth than Caucasians at this point, it’s not a forecast I’m dogmatically confident about.)

What one appreciates about the PRC, is that — despite the general Han face-saving circuitousness — the gov is rather, almost embarrassingly, blunt in policy. When it recognizes the DE principle — pithily summarized by Chateau as: Diversity + Proximity = War — it acts on it — naturally, out of national, not globalist interest.
