The people are just the cells of the same beast since ancient times. Empire. In all shapes and forms, it devours what it grew in and becomes the same brutish atrocity over and over again.

And it stays alive as "wannabe big" again dream long after. This is why britains elite aligns so flawlessly with the atrocities of the usa imperial bloom. The institutions recognize themselves from 100 years ago, when the trampled and maimed people like ghandi.

Thats the natural reaction to decaying law and lawlessness. Thats how human societys have upheld basic contract-stability for ages. Thats why every societal collapse regarding law functionality results in a moral outrage about sexual depravity and moral decay.

Its a hardcoded mechanism. Female selects in males for reliable, reproduceable emotions against the sexual deviants in all shapes.

The group is at the same time ostracized and integrated in some shape or form as religion. (Rainbow-religion atm).

This builds a very fragile basic three power pillar which allows upholding basic contract law.

Not integrated deviants or hostile elements (pedophiles) are then persecuted, to re-establish lawfulness within society. Its all happening on a instinct level. The actual deeds or the victims are strangely irrelevant.

Important is the re-establishing of the "third" pillar to stabilize society. As long as there is a "pope" like figure, able to make the powerful crawl around its castle, the crimes against the weak (children) are strangely irrelevant to this circus.

The progressives will yell against this, but in the end, all that change is the decoration and the mythology, the base functionality of this, remains the same.

Sorry to post this, for to know it and to see it, is misery. And yes, this is why you get told those little stories and outrage-bits and your emotional reaction is so important.

Its just a subconscious behavioural service server check. To have the powerful act against their own interests and establish law, a hack and a hook is necessary.

Nothing personal in all things personal.

China will value internal stability and safety higher then external investors.Internal lenders will get securities and partial payments, while BlackRock and other will be left holding the bag and getting a hair cut.

This results in private pensions funds being devalued, meaning alot of "early out" pensioners might return to working, if the investment collapse spreads. It will also continue to drive the market value of flats in western cities even more upwards, as they become a AAA-haven for china fleeing capital.

Remember the "ambassador" aka Zakalwe? They had boots on the ground and even set up interactions to prevent him getting to friendly/embedded with the "host" culture.

The whole thing was about to blow up anyway, so they brought in the Player of Games, to do it in a style that would prevent any recovery. Gurgeh was not there to defeat the empire, he was there to defeat the whole idea of the game being "holy".

He was the Jesse Owen shipped to hitlers olympics.

Thats ghost towns were noone lives.Art that nobody really appreciates. Companys that produce nothing anyone can really afford. Value is artificial scarcity and the power to uphold it.

To trade a investment, is to dig a hole and sell the void.

Its such a crime - of war and all else, its like a blindspot of imagination. That a man would do such a thing - to what is essentially family, as tactics.. the horror..

Everyone is at work.

In germany if you take a walk during the daytime your looked upon as a "slacker".

Friends require to be condemned to boredom together.

Relationship require something called perspectives in life. Why produce spawn for a dieing world?

This is what you wanted in the 70s when you demonstrated for a "humanity" capable to hold back from environmental destruction.

Its a species of monks, waiting in their cells to dwindle to zero.

You can move water-sides though, buy a houseboat and camp out on the lakes..
