The thing the socialists don’t comprehend is the biggest capital is in our heads. The lefties and the righties! It’s the same mind/body split. It’s about the exchange of values and you have to connect with others to figure it out.
Every non-consensual association carries an extra opportunity cost. Cooperating is cheaper for everyone! No waste! Because everyone is rowing in the same direction. Coercion bleeds energy from the rowing.
If you don’t keep re-grounding your concepts your abstractions will develop so many errors you will float away. Touch grass!
You can’t compel connection. American can’t be β€œmade” to be a certain way. Americans must be inspired β€”inspired to work together without any damn coercion. The glory of America is free speech and free association. If you want to mess with us, we have guns.
There are still remnants of the American Spirit in this culture. We are still the bulk of the culture. That spirit is anarchic. The custom and tradition is that we have to respect one another and connect with one another voluntarily. But connection *is* voluntary!!! It can’t be coerced. We are not Europeans! We are free citizens. Americans with American Spirit are built different.
There are many immigrants who don’t respect the anarchic rules that govern American society. It takes very few adherents from an incompatible governance model to create noticeable problems and ruin the anarchic trust system of America.
And I tried to unlike and ended up double-liking. πŸ˜‚ View quoted note β†’
Value is subjective. What we value through our actions shows others who we are and signals for some to come closer and others to move away.
