BANKRUPTCY PART 2-post 2 of 2 today
After a few comments
from the bankruptcy article, I figured I might need to expand on an
argument. Not about bankruptcy-that subject was already flogged for
an unseemly amount of time. Rather, morality. Which we've already
over saturated in coverage also. But, here goes. Morality stops at
the tribal boundary. I understand your basic Christianity seems to
call for your inclusion of all mankind, to treat others kindly and
morally, but I assure you the Pope never shied from smiting heathens.
Heathens by definition being sinners and abandoning the one true god
and all.
*
No, I'm not mocking.
Christians were a tribe. You treated others in your tribe with a
moral code. No banned weapons or mistreating prisoners, no killing
civilians, that sort of thing. Things didn't go to Hell until
politics got involved. And money. But that is par for the course,
and really, the Papists were one of the longest empires and did a lot
of good ( even with all the bad involved-no organization has ever
acted properly at all times ). None of us probably would ever have
been born without the New World being colonized, and that was the
Church acting poorly.
*
My point is that the
Christian morality is tribe specific. All codes must be. Without
that exclusive membership, your tribe has set itself up for death.
America signed her death warrant in 1965 ( sadly, the same year I was
born ) when immigration changed from a melting pot to a formality at
the front entrance ( or, with illegal immigration, the back door ).
When you were allowed in but forced to conform to the American
culture, it didn't matter what your race or religion was ( well, to a
certain extent-covered more later ).
*
When you were allowed
to come over and your race shared none of the northern European
cultural traits, AND you were also allowed to keep practicing your
old indigenous culture, not being required to conform to historical
local standards, that was the beginning of the end of the American
tribe. Because we had always been an uneasy alliance of states,
mainly bribed by natural resource wealth, the separate cultures
needed a glue other than greed. We created a bastard culture
comprised of the parts, and that plus the wealth was good enough for
a time. It was an uneasy alliance, but we made it work most of the
time.
*
I'm not claiming it was
ever a good model. Puritans and Celtic clans, German craftsmen and
French trappers, not even taking into account the religious
differences, normally none take kindly to the others. It almost
worked like a military academy, different people forced together,
with their hatred focused elsewhere to form a group that disliked
each other but minded their manners as they pursued a career. But
multi-ethnic and multi-religious empires are never a good idea and
never mix well. Today we find out how little we get along as the
empire crumbles.
*
Do not mistake the hate
and discontent as political. Our capitalist society embraced
socialism to survive, as communist nations incorporated capitalism to
do the same. Politics is no where near as important as nationalism
or tribalism. We change politics all the time to strengthen the
tribe. No, we hate each other as we always did. We just aren't
being bribed anymore to play nice with all the other idiots we could
never stand the sight of. Did we EVER really like each other? No,
and we never had to pretend until civility by gun was forced on us.
*
Most people act like it
was a crime against nature to prohibit the Chinese from being granted
citizenship in California 150 years ago, but I assure you the folks
in that state didn't feel bad at all for prohibiting such an alien
culture a foothold. The Irish were hated for some time, Catholics in
a Protestant nation. They made great serfs though, so we got a crap
ton of them. Unfortunately, that opened the door for eastern
Europeans ( a completely foreign culture, even today ) and Italians
and Jews. None of which were culturally compatible with the early
settler cultures.
*
Once you let in the
Irish ( I'm half Scot myself, and certainly look favorable on the
Potato Heads-I make a point of cultural compatibility ), then it is
barely a stretch to let in the Mexicans. Then the Muslims. It never
ends. Now you can't let your goat wander unattended in the yard in
some areas, least he be sacrificed. And we all see how well those
Muzzies treat their host nations in Europe. Hint, welcome to the
genocide, infidel dogs. Nobody took a look at centuries of religious
wars and concluded that mixing and matching wasn't the best idea?
No, because of those first arrivals here ( or, among the first ),
those Gott Damn Puritans. Preachy humpers who profited off God.
*
The original Yuppie
Scum, but with a crucifix up their asses. Money was more important
than state stability. Who do you think shipped over all those
slaves? But, I'll move on. We were always tribal, but forgot it for
awhile. I guaran-damn-tee you that a LOT of other tribes living here
never forgot it. Blacks never forgot it and never assimilated. Jews
were the same, to the point we are told we have to allow them to
support Israel over the country they are citizens of, least we be
branded anti-Semitic.
*
Again, I don't care
what religion you are, I only care what your allegiance is. I don't
care what race you are, as long as you belong to my tribe. If you
choose race or religion over my tribe, then you are a foreigner.
THEN your race or religion matters a whole lot to me. Sometimes it
doesn't even matter, as Whites in the Blue Regions are culturally
hostile towards everything I stand for or believe in. That ain't
politics, folks. Anti-Bill Of Rights, anti-freedom to defend myself
against a hostile government, anti-family, anti-gender, anti-race (
my race ). All those are a foreign culture.
*
The Bill Of Rights was
never negotiable. Those were rights we were born with as Americans
and the government could not take away. It wasn't the governments to
decide. We gave the government just enough power to serve us. If
you don't believe that, you aren't my tribe. That is a tribal
belief, and I don't care how small my tribe is, you aren't allowed to
vote that away. If you try, you are my tribes enemy. Team Blue
THINKS they are acting morally ( women's rights, make society safe,
equal rights for minorities ), but those are not MY morals. They are
not my tribes culture. And yes, this has everything to do with a
moral obligation to pay back a loan.
*
Blue is acting morally,
within their culture. Should YOU treat their actions as moral? Of
course not! You think abortion is moral? You think chemically
castrating a boy, on the consent of a parent, is moral? You think a
transgender “person” should be allowed access to children in a
library or a public restroom? They think it is moral. You do not.
It is a cultural difference. And no matter which side you stand on,
the other side is immoral. That is just reality. That is why you
don't mix cultures. Continued tomorrow.

As gently as I can say...you have the most facile & superficial understanding of Christianity. Please stop using it as your whipping boy. Thx.
ReplyDeleteMoving on....
You say,"Politics is no where near as important as nationalism or tribalism". I say, 80% of Americans don't even know the names of their great grand parents. They don't pray in the language of the "predominate ethnicity". Most white Americans have no tribe.
Lets suppose an example where one "German" grandmother from Texas married a guy with "Cherokee-Ulsterman" background while other "German" grandmother from Pennsylvania married a "Slovak-Dutch-Serbian-Volga German" guy. Does that make little granddaughter "German"?
What if one g-mom was lapsed Mennonite who spoke Plattdeutsch growing up while other was hardcore Catholic who barely even understood pidgin Texan-Bavarian dialect? Did g-daughter observe a Catholic Christmas or a secular Santa Claus Day?
Don't forget g-daughter married a Mormon guy of "English-Samoan" descent and now lives in SLC.
And most importantly...does granddaughter put beans in her chili???
Sorry Jim, most white Americans are of the tribe "Homo Economicus". When push comes to shove most folks will congregate around people of similar pre collapse educational/economic position. They won't flee to "ancestors" homestead in rural N. Dakota and have reunion with 2nd cousin they met 30 years ago at the now shuttered St. Olaf Norwegian Luthern Church on the prairie.
Except in small instances, tribalism was thrown overboard by the time steamship arrived at Ellis Island. Descendants of earlier waves pretty much also forgot their Huegonaut, Puritan or "hot mix" Franco-Haitian exiled ancestor.
They don't even know where their people are buried in order to put flowers on graves. Shame that.
Not sure where you got me trying to link folks allegiance to ancient origins. I'm saying politics can change and folks remain loyal to their tribe, regardless of that change. I don't care about Christianity past its shallow classification of a tribe. At one time, an empire. I'm interested in them as an organization, not as a cult or philosophy.
DeleteFunny, I never once thought you used Christianity as your whipping boy - thats where your personal brand of diversity and inclusion shines as EVERYBODY is your whipping boy! :-) Thay being said, Id certainly agree that morality is subjective to one's tribe. In the "tribe" of my upbringing dancing and alchohol (and a host of other things) were positively verboten. Imagine the horror of being 9 years old and going to my favorite Aunt's wedding (who married into a different faction of the same tribe) and they both served champagne (gasp!) AND had dancing (shriek!!). I was worried that I would go straight to hell just being in the same room as these heathens... Thus started the beginning of the end of my inclusion within the tribe. In my experience within the cult, errr Tribe, morality is nothing more than a set of rules some guys made up a long time ago to keep the tribe in check against human nature. Dont like your prescibed morality? Find a NEW tribe that thinks more akin to the way you do. As my dear departed grandfather would say, "its all a bunch of malarkey, kid."
ReplyDeleteGrandpa knew how to sum it all up, didn't he? Of course, he was probably doing the jitterbug atop cases of bathtub gin, back in the day LOL
DeleteSome Christian cults will be the exception, of course. But true about all things
