The value proposition of the state is the armed forces. The total ones, though, including what are known as “law enforcement.”
That is why all the private banks (at the mega bank scale) went broke. There was no way in hell they could compete with the perfect capacity for coertion.
This perfect capacity, this perfect proposition, went hand in hand with the philosophical object [of the state]. It was born in the minds of clercs who were impressed with the power of their masters. It later took on inertia as itself an indispensible tool in expansion of state power. The growth of the state and the growth of the idea of need of state, and later the idea of the elimination, or at least making an enemy of, anything that isn’t state, came hand in hand, one birthing the other, then the other properly weaponizing this one.
Women provide fun and men provide protection. When the state started taking over (because we outsourced our own responsibilities—because we were made subject to the point that we did not have time or energy to defend them) with bread and circuses and the military industrial complex, and started using humans as means instead of treating us as the ends we are, treating women as prostitutes and men as drones, it was because we alienated from each other and original personhood (the source of inalienable value)—and that is the only way back out of insanity.
It’s kind of funny how we grow up being taught that certain parts of society and civilization developed because not having to worry about all the details and delegating out to various other people freed us up to have time for more interesting things. But kids are too new-on-the-scene (usually) to know that their parent(s) is/are not “freed up”.
It’s too abstract. That map will get nobody anywhere and nobody will want to follow it anyway.
The only answer is on the small scale. You, and the people around you. And the people around you are either mostly zombies or mostly zombi. The odds are hard against. But that is the only way back into value.
On another note, the real intent behind this thread is to point out something different:
That the problem of armed forces actually cannot be eliminated. War is the fundamental basis of finance, and finance is the fundamental basis of survival of the human species.
The problem is not how to eliminate the guns. The problem is how are guns being malinvested.
Make all money go digital, then use the highest level of military technology to blow up any way of tracking it.
Poetic reset. …but we’ll just go back to the insanity if we don’t reset to “every person is a person in the image of original personhood” in our thoughts, values, and behaviors.
If you have that level of military power, nobody is tracking you. You are tracking. So your noble lying LLBDSM is going to stop you from tracking you. ?
To add to the conrtradiction: if you are so noble that you tasked yourself with the destruction of money tracking, you obviously are noble enough not to need to be unmoneytrackinged.
