The nature of politics and “culture wars”

[pazuzu-bootsy-baphomet-jr]

Politics, at its core, is about one thing and one thing only:

THE CONTROL OF RESOURCES AND PHYSICAL SPACE

anything beyond that, is cosmetic

the “culture wars” are now, and have always been, a distraction created to draw attention away from _real politics_

The default political system of humanity is warlordism

We see this time and time again globally, as competing interests break down civil structures and replace them with large-scale gang activity

Warlordism is a type of gang activity that transfers resources from the people to the warlord, nominally in exchange for protection from other warlords

Warlordism is profitable for warlords

That’s why those in power, always encourage tribalism

Civil society is an *impediment* to those who seek power, that’s why it never lasts

And learn the basics of medical care

and make friends with people with medical training

in an adverse situation, the absence of modern medical care can be a real pisser

You can tell this guy isn’t for real because nobody uses a pump for defense these days
